ML Engineering Lead

Your Role in Our Mission:

As an ML Engineer Lead, you will play a pivotal role in leading and managing projects from concept to production, mentoring team members, and influencing the strategic direction of our AI initiatives. Knowledge of semiconductor design and manufacturing is a plus.

Responsibilities:

• Lead AI projects from concept to production deployment

• Solve challenging AI and software engineering problems while promoting best practices

• Create showtime-ready benchmarks to continually measure quality and robustness of solutions relative to baselines

• Develop and deploy state-of-the-art AI models for problems in hardware engineering with complex logical and uncertainty-bound constraints

• Evaluate state-of-the-art Bayesian and non-Bayesian approaches to reliable deep learning and formal verification of AI systems

• Set up experimentation tools and synthetic data infrastructure to support rapid experimentation and iteration, with a clear path to production deployment

• Develop strategies to manage AI-specific challenges (latency, variance, errors)

• Keep up with AI advancements, especially in language models and multi-modal AI, and synthetic data generation

What Makes You A Great Fit:

• 4+ years of experience with deep learning frameworks like Pytorch, Tensorflow, Jax

• Rich leadership experience over the “full stack” when it comes to designing, training, evaluating and deploying machine learning models, especially large generative models

• Strong software engineering skills, especially in building complex, distributed systems around AI technologies

• Expertise in prompt engineering, fine-tuning, and deploying large generative models in production environments

• Skilled in handling and preprocessing large datasets for AI applications, including multimodal data

• Strong understanding of AI evaluation metrics and benchmarking methodologies

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex AI concepts to technical and non-technical stakeholders

What Elevates Your Application:

• Experience deploying AI models in high-stakes or regulated environments

• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms for large-scale AI deployment

• Familiarity with probabilistic programming languages (e.g., TensorFlow Probability, Pyro) and probabilistic reasoning methods (e.g. Bayesian NNs or Monte Carlo Tree Search)

• Specialized knowledge in advanced AI techniques such as few-shot learning, meta-learning, or AI alignment, and relevant frameworks like DSPy

• Contributions to open-source AI projects or publications in top-tier AI conferences/journals

• Deep curiosity for or experience in semiconductors and physics

• A "defensive AI engineering" mindset, with experience handling the challenges of working with non-deterministic AI systems
