Semiconductor verification generates mountains of log data, but the real debugging skill lives inside a handful of veteran engineers. This team turns that hard-won expertise into AI agents that proactively surface root causes and suggest fixes, compressing weeks of triage into hours. You'll embed directly with chip design teams to understand their workflows, then design and deploy Python-based reasoning systems that adapt to each customer's toolchain. It's a hybrid of solution architecture and hands-on engineering—shipping containerized agents into production environments while shaping the product roadmap from the front lines.

What they're looking for

  • 2–6 years of experience in a customer-facing engineering role such as solutions engineering, forward deployment, or technical consulting
  • Fluent in Python and comfortable containerizing workloads with Docker
  • Proven ability to debug complex technical issues inside a customer's environment and translate field learnings back to engineering teams
  • Strong written and verbal communication—you can walk a room of hardware engineers through how an AI agent arrived at a conclusion
  • Willing to work on-site in San Francisco and travel domestically for customer engagements roughly 20–30% of the time
