• Execute multi-stage workflows (e.g., generate → simulate → analyze → refine)


• Integrate across RTL, DV, and physical design flows


• Build reusable agent frameworks and orchestration layers

AI Guardrails & Governance

• Define and enforce AI guardrails, including:


• Safe usage policies


• Data privacy and IP protection


• Model access controls


• Manage:


• Token usage and cost optimization


• Access policies for different teams


• Ensure AI usage aligns with enterprise-grade security standards

LLM & Tooling Expertise

• Evaluate and recommend LLMs and AI tools for different use cases:


• Code generation


• Debugging


• Documentation


• Data analysis


• Continuously benchmark and optimize model selection across:


• Performance


• Cost


• Privacy constraints

• LLMs


• Agent frameworks


• AI tooling ecosystem

Enablement & Training

• Train engineering teams to:


• Effectively use AI tools and agents


• Build their own custom AI agents


• Apply prompt engineering best practices


• Create documentation, playbooks, and templates for:


• AI-assisted workflows


• Agent development


• Drive a culture of AI-native engineering

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field


• 8+ years of experience in AI/ML, systems, or platform engineering


• Strong experience in:


• LLMs and generative AI systems


• Building AI-powered tools or platforms


• Designing scalable AI infrastructure (cloud and/or on-prem)


• Experience with:


• Agent frameworks and orchestration systems


• API-based and self-hosted models


• Solid understanding of:


• Data security, privacy, and IP protection in AI systems


• Strong software engineering skills (Python required)

Good to Have
