Job Description:
We’re a small software team embedded within semiconductor manufacturing, focused on transforming how production data is collected, analyzed, and put into action across our sites. Our technology stack is evolving toward Python-centric services, AI/ML-powered analytics, and LLM-driven tools, and we’re looking for an engineer to help drive that transformation.
In this role, you’ll collaborate closely with test and yield engineers to turn complex manufacturing data into practical, user-friendly systems. Your work will vary from developing data pipelines to prototyping LLM-based solutions that streamline time-consuming analysis. If you enjoy tackling diverse challenges, solving meaningful real-world problems, and seeing your work deployed on the factory floor, this position offers a unique opportunity to make a direct impact.
Responsibilities 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—including databases, messaging systems, and web platforms—that the team and factory rely on daily.
Work directly with test, yield, and process engineers to understand their challenges and deliver effective solutions.
Identify and implement automation opportunities using an AI/ML-first mindset.
Maintain clear technical documentation so the team can grow without relying on tribal knowledge.
