  • Design and develop end‑to‑end, scalable AI systems to improve internal efficiency
  • Independently identify, evaluate, and rapidly prototype AI use cases and projects, from concept to proof of value
  • Collaborate with engineering teams across Germany, the US, China, and Japan

Your profile

  • Proven production experience implementing AI solutions using at least one major open‑source framework (e.g., LangChain, PyTorch)
  • Hands‑on experience with public cloud providers (AWS or Azure) and building cloud‑based infrastructure
  • Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining distributed systems and shared services
  • Ability to take full ownership of complex systems in a low‑guidance, high‑impact environment

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in managing high-performance GPU clusters
  • Experience working in scaled agile or large engineering organizations

  • Experience in semiconductor testing and / or the semiconductor industry in general
