FE Design Agentic AI Automation Expert

Job Title

At STMicroelectronics, we are accelerating the adoption of Agentic and Generative AI to fundamentally transform semiconductor engineering workflows. In this role, you will be a key contributor to the introduction of LLM-powered, agentic AI systems into Front-End (FE) digital design environments.

Your primary mission is to design, develop, and industrialize agentic AI solutions capable of reasoning, planning, and acting across complex engineering workflows. These solutions will connect knowledge bases, design guidelines, EDA tools, and automated checks to deliver guided automation, embedded quality guardrails, and measurable improvements in productivity and design quality.

You will work in close collaboration with digital design experts to ensure that AI agents are effectively grounded in FE design practices and can scale to industrial-grade usage across ST design teams and sites.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Lead the design and deployment of agentic AI and LLM-based systems for engineering workflows.
• Develop AI agents capable of reasoning, task orchestration, tool invocation, and workflow automation.
• Integrate LLM-based agents with internal knowledge bases, coding/design guidelines, and EDA environments.
• Define architectures for human-in-the-loop AI systems with embedded quality, safety, and traceability.
• Collaborate with design and methodology teams to ground AI solutions in real FE digital design use cases.
• Contribute to the definition of metrics to assess impact on productivity, design cycle time, and quality.
• Participate in the evaluation of internal and external AI and EDA technology solutions.
• Support the industrialization, scalability, and governance of AI solutions in engineering environments.

Primary skills – Agentic AI & Software Engineering

• Master's degree in Computer Science, AI, Data Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong experience in AI/ML and Generative AI, with clear exposure to LLMs and agentic AI systems.
• Practical experience with:
  • Agent architectures (tool-using agents, planners, multi-agent or workflow-driven systems)
  • Prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI orchestration frameworks
• Strong software engineering skills (Python, APIs, workflow integration, automation).
• Ability to design robust, explainable, and scalable AI systems for industrial environments.
• Experience integrating AI solutions with existing tools and complex enterprise systems.

Secondary skills – Digital Design Domain Knowledge

• Good understanding of digital front-end design principles (RTL design, structural checks, design quality).
• Familiarity with EDA tool environments and design workflows is a strong asset.
• Ability to work closely with design and verification teams to translate domain needs into AI capabilities.
• Interest in applying AI to engineering productivity, quality, and design robustness.

Additional qualifications

• Strong analytical mindset with focus on measurable impact.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in international, multi-site teams.
• Autonomous, proactive, and comfortable working at the intersection of AI research and industrial deployment.
• Fluent business English (spoken and written).
