Applied AI/Automation Engineer

Our Customer Enablement organization defines semiconductor system requirements, develops technical documentation, and supports internal teams and customers in using our devices.

We are seeking an Applied AI/Automation Engineer to design, build, deploy, and support practical AI solutions that improve internal engineering workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and make technical information easier to find and use. This role will apply the latest AI techniques within scalable software solutions, helping move promising ideas from experimentation into reliable, maintainable tools that deliver measurable value. The role will involve designing solutions that are secure, measurable, maintainable, and useful in people’s daily work.

This role will also contribute to the development of documentation and information tools, scripts, and utilities. We eagerly pursue scripting, data modeling, and process automation to operate more efficiently in collaboration with work partner teams.

The ideal candidate combines strong software engineering skills with hands-on experience building AI-enabled applications.

Depending on business priorities, initiatives may include:

• Building LLM-powered assistants and copilots
• Creating AI agents and tool-integrated workflows that connect to enterprise systems
• Automating repetitive engineering and operational tasks
• Applying document intelligence, extraction, classification, and summarization
• Developing internal developer-productivity tools
• Designing evaluation methods, quality metrics, monitoring, and feedback loops
• Improving prompts, workflows, context retrieval, model selection, performance, and cost
• Establishing secure deployment patterns, access controls, and responsible AI practices

Success in this role means delivering AI capabilities that are useful, trusted, adopted, and sustainable in production while helping engineering teams use AI efficiently and effectively.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and implement new tools, scripts and utilities to help other engineering teams operate more efficiently
• Write clean, well-documented code with a focus on scalability, performance, and maintainability
• Conduct unit and integration testing to ensure code quality and stability
• Identify and prioritize high-value AI use cases aligned with business and engineering needs
• Design, build, test, and deploy AI-enabled skills, agents and workflows
• Integrate AI capabilities with internal data sources, developer tools, documentation platforms, and enterprise systems
• Create evaluation methods to measure output quality, reliability, accuracy, usage, and user value
• Partners with Applied AI and Security to ensureImplement safeguards for security, privacy, access control, and responsible AI usage
• Document how to use the tools, as well as architecture, design decisions, implementation patterns, and operational practices
• Stay current on the evolving AI tool and model landscape and recommend pragmatic adoption strategies

Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 6+ years of professional software engineering experience, including building and deploying production software
• Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, or C#
• Comfortable working with source control (Git, SVN)
• Hands-on experience designing and building AI-enabled applications using large language model APIs, AI application frameworks, enterprise AI platforms, or similar technologies
• Experience integrating software with APIs, cloud services, enterprise data sources, data pipelines, and knowledge repositories
• Experience with AI evaluation, measurement, monitoring, observability, or feedback practices
• Working knowledge of AI governance, responsible AI, cybersecurity, data privacy, and access-control considerations
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with experience working directly with internal customers and cross-functional teams
• Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to define abstract problems, prioritize competing needs, and develop concise, actionable solutions in ambiguous and fast-moving environments
• Prior experience in the semiconductor or high-tech industry

Preferred Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Demonstrated ability to move AI prototypes into production, including testing, deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and retirement of solutions that no longer provide value
• Experience designing AI agents, multi-step workflows, tool integrations, human-in-the-loop controls, or agent security patterns
• Experience building reusable AI frameworks, platform components, skills, or developer-enablement resources that help other engineers adopt AI
• Experience optimizing AI systems for quality, latency, reliability, and cost through techniques such as model selection, routing, caching, batching, or context management
• Experience implementing enterprise AI security practices, including service identity, scoped permissions, secrets management, audit-ability, data residency, or protection of confidential intellectual property
• Experience with rigorous AI experimentation and evaluation, including test-set design, sampling, human quality review, inter-rater reliability, or measurement of user and business outcomes
