Engineer - Software Development; Python​/AI

Engineer I – Software Development (Python / AI)

We are a small software team embedded within semiconductor manufacturing focused on transforming how production data is collected, analyzed, and turned into actionable insights. Our technology stack is evolving toward Python‑centric services, AI/ML‑powered analytics, and LLM‑driven tools.

• Build Python services, APIs, and data pipelines that collect, transform, and deliver semiconductor manufacturing data at scale.
• Develop and deploy AI/ML models and LLM‑based solutions that automate analysis and surface actionable insights for engineers.
• Design and maintain the data infrastructure (databases, messaging, web platforms) that the team and factory rely on daily.
• Work directly with end‑users—test engineers, yield engineers, process engineers—to understand problems and ship solutions.
• Identify and implement automation opportunities with an AI/ML‑first mindset.
• Maintain clear technical documentation so the team can grow without tribal knowledge.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Mathematics, or a related field.
• Proficiency in Python—experience building real applications, pipelines, or tooling.
• Strong SQL skills, including stored procedures and complex queries across relational databases.
• Working familiarity with AI/ML concepts and at least one of: scikit‑learn, PyTorch, Tensor Flow, LLM APIs, or AI‑assisted development tools.
• Ability to translate business problems into technical solutions without needing everything spelled out.

• Hands‑on experience building or integrating LLM‑based solutions (RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, agent frameworks).
• Ability to direct AI coding tools through clear intent and prompt articulation to produce production‑quality code.
• Experience with AI/ML model development, evaluation, and deployment in production environments.
• Knowledge of statistics, data mining, or data visualization techniques.
• Docker/containerization and container orchestration.
• Event‑driven architectures and pub‑sub messaging (Redis, Kafka).
• Git, CI/CD pipelines (Azure Dev Ops, Jenkins), and test‑driven development practices.
• Linux/Unix command‑line proficiency; web server administration (NGINX) is a plus.
