Role Posting Log in to save

The Senior SOCD Applied AI Engineer joins the SOC Design team to eliminate bottlenecks in SOC integration workflows through intelligent automation. This role involves developing LLM-powered tools for high-value execution tasks such as design review summarization, signoff status aggregation, and CI/CD pipeline gating. The engineer will build RAG-based knowledge systems grounded in internal documentation and design AI-assisted coding workflows using agent-based development tools and prompt templates. Key responsibilities include owning the reliability of AI systems through logging, tracing, and regression testing while collaborating with methodology teams to define productivity metrics. Required skills include Python, experience with LangChain or LlamaIndex, RAG architectures, vector databases, and production software engineering fundamentals like API design and containerization. The role addresses technical challenges in ASIC development and SOC integration by transforming high-friction workflows into automated tools.
