- Turn engineering knowledge and repeatable workflows into shared AI tools teams can build on.
- Develop AI systems for automated experimentation, defect detection, engineering analysis, and fab operations.
- Explore systems that can analyze results, propose what to do next, and eventually interact with physical equipment.
- Help shape how AI gets used across Fab2 and inside the fab.
Required Experience- Strong software engineering fundamentals and experience shipping production systems.
- Comfortable working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and data.
- Effective with AI coding tools while still able to read, write, debug, and reason about code independently.
