TL;DR · Software Engineer Sys V

As a Software Engineer Sys 5 within the Global Products Group, you will join a centralized team focused on designing, developing, and troubleshooting software programs for etch and deposition products. You will be responsible for building sophisticated architectural solutions to integrate LLM technology into business applications, developing multi-step agentic pipelines using open and closed-source models, and managing infrastructure for model integration, routing, and evaluation. Your daily work involves building MCP Servers, ensuring model governance, and implementing RAG, LangGraph, and various agent SDKs. You will utilize tools like LangSmith to monitor hallucinations and tokenomics while navigating complex requirements such as prompt engineering, session state management, and RLHF. This role addresses the technical challenge of integrating advanced AI systems into semiconductor equipment software to improve operational outcomes and ensure seamless hardware compatibility.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement architectural solutions for integrating LLM technology into business applications.
  • Develop complex multi-step agentic pipelines using open- and closed-source LLMs.
  • Manage infrastructure for model integration, routing, and evaluation.
  • Build MCP Servers to ensure governance, versioning, access control, and monitoring for production AI systems.
  • Evaluate and prototype the latest advancements in AI and agentic systems as they emerge.
  • Develop software tools that support design, infrastructure, and technology platforms.
  • Ensure seamless integration between software and hardware across the product portfolio.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 7 years of experience shipping production software and owning features end-to-end.
  • Proven experience building AI agents, LLM-driven systems, or autonomous workflows with guardrails and evaluation mechanisms.
  • Practical experience with RAG, evals, monitoring, MCP/tool use, structured outputs, or multi-agent workflows.
  • Experience with LLM orchestration patterns and frameworks such as LangGraph, MCP, and major provider agent SDKs.
  • Foundational AI skills including prompt engineering, model evaluation, reasoning frameworks, and context management.
  • Strong communication skills to influence senior engineers and product leaders.
  • Preferred experience in the semiconductor equipment industry or operating in regulated environments with security fundamentals.
  • Familiarity with advanced AI techniques like PEFT fine-tuning, RLHF, synthetic data generation, and LangSmith for tracing.
