- As a Data Scientist (m/f/d), you will collaborate with senior team members to develop and deploy machine learning solutions, with a focus on Large Language Models (LLMs), for semiconductor testing and electrotechnical systems.
- Assist in designing and implementing LLM-driven tools to automate data analysis, technical documentation processing, and defect prediction workflows for the 93K IC Test platform.
- Work under guidance to preprocess datasets, fine-tune open-source LLMs (e.g., LLaMA, Mistral), and integrate retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems into testing pipelines.
- Contribute to MLOps workflows for model training/evaluation using Python frameworks (PyTorch, Hugging Face) and cloud platforms (AWS/Azure).
- Participate in cross-functional agile teams to translate customer requirements into prototype solutions, with opportunities to lead smaller sub-projects.
- Analyze semiconductor testing data (parametric measurements, yield logs) using statistical methods and visualization tools.
