What You’ll Do

You will join a cross-functional engineering team to design and deliver AI-driven analytics and automation software for advanced semiconductor equipment. Your work will combine large-scale equipment telemetry, diagnostics, and Agentic AI to improve equipment performance, reliability, and throughput in manufacturing environments.

• Design and implement production-quality backend services, APIs, and orchestration layers for equipment diagnostics, monitoring, and predictive maintenance
• Build Agentic AI integrations that combine LLMs with engineering data, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and tool/function calling for automated workflows
• Develop data pipelines and streaming architectures to ingest, transform, and store high-volume equipment telemetry (SQL, NoSQL, vector DBs)
• Interface software with complex hardware platforms, telemetry streams, and machine control systems in production fabs
• Create secure, high-performance solutions that operate in customer-controlled, highly secure manufacturing environments (including disconnected/air-gapped deployments)
• Deliver intuitive web-based tools and UIs that simplify troubleshooting and diagnostics for semiconductor engineers
• Collaborate across software, hardware, systems, data science, and product teams to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Drive code quality, testing, CI/CD, and continuous improvement across the platform
