About the role

Applied AI Engineer role focused on turning difficult engineering workflows into AI-assisted systems for high-priority AI-for-engineering efforts across hardware-adjacent domains, collaborating with hardware and software engineering teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build applied AI workflows for top hardware and software engineering priorities, including optimization, verification, debugging, simulation, and automation workflows.
  • Convert manual engineering processes into structured tasks with inputs, candidate generation, validation, scoring, logging, and reproducible comparisons.
  • Partner with domain owners to define success metrics such as correctness, performance, resource usage, quality, latency, coverage, engineer time saved, or issue classification accuracy.
  • Develop tools that let AI agents use compilers, simulators, formal checks, profilers, benchmark harnesses, ticket systems, and engineering knowledge sources.
  • Build human-in-the-loop workflows for tasks where annotated data, expert judgment, or subjective triage is required.
  • Improve model and agent performance through better prompts, tool interfaces, retrieval, evaluation datasets, graders, and structured feedback.
  • Work with research and infrastructure teams to generalize repeated patterns into reusable platforms, harnesses, dashboards, and data assets.
  • Communicate progress through measurable outcomes, demos, concise technical writeups, and clear stakeholder updates.

Qualifications

  • Strong software engineering experience in Python and at least one systems language such as C++, C, HIP, CUDA, or Rust.
  • Experience building applied AI, ML, agentic, automation, or developer tooling systems for technical users.
  • Ability to work with complex engineering tools, logs, tests, benchmark harnesses, and validation workflows.
  • Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills across software systems, AI workflows, or hardware-adjacent tooling.
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills with domain experts, engineering leads, research teams, and program stakeholders.
