  • Implement machine learning methodologies to improve productivity and optimizations across SoC design functions.
  • Optimize chip-design processes for improved efficiency, quality, and speed.
  • Tailor machine learning solutions to meet domain-specific needs of internal multi-functional teams.
  • Monitor and integrate emerging technologies in machine learning and chip design to maintain state-of-the-art solutions.
  • Design and implement AI evaluation test suites and human evaluation frameworks.
  • Develop generative AI pipelines including RAG systems, embedding models, and retrieval strategies.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of a BS degree.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Practical experience and knowledge of generative AI and modern machine learning methods (preferred).
  • Experience with RAG systems, generative AI pipelines, AI evaluation, AI coding assistants, or AI infrastructure protocols (preferred).
  • Experience with deep neural networks and reinforcement learning (preferred).
  • Solid math background and understanding of algorithms and data structures (preferred).
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or MLX (preferred).
  • Experience with hardware description languages like Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL (preferred).
  • Experience with chip design and verification front end flows (preferred).
  • Master's or PhD with relevant publications (preferred).
