AI Design Automation Engineer
San Jose, California$200k - $300kFull-timePosted 1mo ago
About the role
Role focused on building AI-powered engineering platforms to help AMD's chip design teams access and leverage engineering data through scalable software, data pipelines, knowledge graphs, and LLM-driven capabilities.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain backend data pipelines that turn engineering data sources into structured, quarriable representations
- Design and evolve data schemas and queries to support new engineering data types and use cases at production scale
- Build and extend AI/LLM-based components that let engineers query and interact with engineering data using natural language
- Diagnose and fix reliability and performance issues in distributed batch-processing pipelines handling large volumes of data
- Design and implement new data pipelines to bring additional engineering data domains onto the platform
- Tune LLM-based components for accuracy, cost, and latency
- Own a TDD-driven development workflow using the team's version control and code review practices
- Collaborate with architecture, verification, and design teams to translate their data and workflow needs into platform capabilities
Qualifications
- Strong Python engineering background, with rigorous testing discipline (unit/integration/end-to-end) in a large, shared codebase
- Experience with graph databases and/or vector search systems, including schema design and query performance for retrieval workloads
- Experience with LLM-based/agentic systems: retrieval-augmented generation, agent orchestration frameworks, tool-use/function-calling, and awareness of LLM cost/latency/token tradeoffs
- Familiarity with RTL/HDL/Physical Design semantics (SystemVerilog/Verilog/SW/HW modeling, module hierarchy, instantiation, parameters) and toolchains for parsing/elaborating hardware design source
- Experience with time-series/relational data stores and reasoning about consistency across multiple database backends
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
