About the role
We file this job under AI Engineer, by the work the posting describes.
AI engineers build products on top of AI models that already exist, most often large language models: they connect a model to a company's data and tools and ship the assistants, agents and search features people use.
Postings ask for strong Python or TypeScript, experience with model APIs, retrieval and agent frameworks, and ways to test whether the model's answers are good enough.
An ML engineer trains and serves models; an AI engineer usually starts from a model someone else trained and builds the product around it, though titles often mix the two.
Job description
As a member of our ML group, you will design, prototype, and ship agentic GenAI systems used by chip design engineers to accelerate their day-to-day workflows. We are looking for a machine learning engineer who is energized by taking LLMs from "promising demo" to "depended-on tool": designing the agent loops, retrieval pipelines, and evaluation frameworks that make this transition real. Success in this role means agents that meaningfully shift how our customer teams work, backed by measurements you trust.
