What You Will Be Doing
- Manage and grow a team building agentic AI solutions, including sophisticated coding agents, custom skills/tools, and their integration with enterprise production systems for chip design workflows.
- Provide technical direction and strategic leadership in the design, development, and deployment of AI applications using LLMs, agentic systems, and related technologies.
- Drive model customization and post-training — including fine-tuning, RL, and instruction/skill tuning — to adapt LLMs for chip-design coding, debugging, and reasoning tasks.
- Oversee development of retrieval and generation algorithms for enterprise data (text, code, waveforms, and images) to support advanced AI use cases across EDA and hardware engineering.
- Partner closely with engineering, research, and product teams to deliver LLM-powered solutions for engineering assistants and multi-turn, multi-modal dialogue systems.
- Ensure high technical standards and drive operational excellence across AI application development efforts, including evaluation frameworks, safety guardrails, and production monitoring of agent behavior.
- Stay informed on the latest advancements in ML/AI and ensure your team adopts the most effective techniques and tools.
- Foster a collaborative, inclusive, and high-performance team culture while mentoring team members and supporting their career growth.
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
- 12 years of industry experience overall, including 5 years in technical leadership or managing software/AI teams.
- A track record of leading teams that build ML/AI systems, with hands-on exposure to post-training LLMs and agentic systems.
- Deep technical foundations in software engineering — especially Python, data structures, and large-scale system design.
- Strong people-leadership instincts: mentoring, coaching, and building teams that consistently perform at a high level.
- A history of steering cross-functional efforts and shipping production-grade AI applications.
- A hands-on leader who moves fluidly between strategic direction and deep technical execution.
