TL;DR · Senior Platform AI Engineer

As a Senior Platform AI Engineer within the Silicon Co-Design Group, you will set the technical direction and lead the end-to-end delivery of an efficiency platform supporting an intelligent automation ecosystem. You will define architectural directions, infrastructure investments, and roadmap priorities across silicon architecture, build, methodology, validation, and applied AI teams. Your daily responsibilities include managing storage and caching strategies for heterogeneous compute environments, establishing engineering standards, and mentoring senior engineers while resolving cross-team architectural challenges. The role requires expertise in Python and at least one compiled language like C, C++, Go, Java, or Rust. You will work with job queues, sandboxed execution via Kubernetes Jobs, Celery, Sidekiq, or Temporal, and container runtimes. This position addresses the technical demands of silicon development, validation, and EDA toolchains to support workflows from bring-up to production sign-off.

What you'll do

  • Define the architectural direction, investment strategy, and roadmap for the efficiency platform across multiple internal teams.
  • Own the end-to-end delivery of the platform from initial design and implementation through sustained production operation.
  • Establish technical standards for infrastructure powered by artificial intelligence while resolving cross-team architectural challenges.
  • Manage storage and caching strategies that scale across heterogeneous compute environments.
  • Lead unified solutions including orchestration patterns, authentication, authorization, observability, and SLA enforcement.
  • Define platform contracts to onboard new agents and skills from various domain teams.
  • Mentor senior engineers and provide technical leadership to grow the capabilities of the engineering team.

What we're looking for

  • BS, MS, or PhD in CS, EE, CE, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience designing and operating production-grade platform or backend infrastructure.
  • 5+ years of direct ML infrastructure experience including end-to-end ownership of model serving platforms or latency-sensitive services.
  • Proven track record of setting technical direction, defining strategy, and establishing architectural standards at the department or company level.
  • Strong Python skills and proficiency in at least one compiled language such as C, C++, Go, Java, or Rust.
  • Hands-on experience with job queues and sandboxed execution using tools like Kubernetes Jobs, Celery, Sidekiq, Temporal, or container runtimes.
  • Strong communication and leadership skills to align senior team members and drive architectural decisions across organizations.
