JOB TITLE: AI Automation & Tools Engineer
LOCATION: San Jose, CA
DURATION: Through mid-October 2026.
PAY RANGE: $75 - $80/hr.

TOP 3 SKILLS:

Proficiency in Python with hands-on experience in automation frameworks.
Experience in NVMe/storage firmware validation or similar hardware-software system environments, including log analysis and trace diagnostics (e.g., Protocol Analyzers, Beagle trace).
Strong problem-solving skills with a solid understanding of automated triage tools and the ability to analyze complex systems and improve workflows.

Company:
Our client is a global technology leader known for its innovative consumer electronics, mobile devices, and cutting-edge semiconductor solutions.

Description:

To support the continued development of AI automation and tooling capabilities, we are requesting the onboarding of a contractor to assist with critical tasks in Eldora, Deus/Euclid, and Elroy projects. These initiatives require ongoing automation efforts to optimize efficiency and ensure seamless system functionality. The contractor will accelerate progress in the following key areas:
Establish a "First Level of Defense" (L1 Triage): The contractor will deploy automated gatekeeping systems to handle initial failure analysis by deploying AI agents. This includes automated setup-health checks, sideband diagnostics, and Beagle trace pre-screening, resolving routine issues before they require escalation to a full-time engineer.
Intelligent Triage Optimization: Streamline the identification and routing of issues across our toolset. By automating the "discovery" phase of a defect, we significantly reduce the Mean Time to Resolve and improve overall testing velocity.
Engineering Bandwidth Protection: By filtering out repetitive tasks and known setup issues through automation, we protect the core team s bandwidth, allowing them to concentrate on high-complexity architecture and "show-stopper" project milestones.
Scalable Productivity: Replace manual, linear triage workflows with scalable AI-driven processes. This ensures that as test volume increases for Elroy and Eldora, our triage capacity scales without requiring additional permanent headcount.

Required Qualifications:

Proficiency in Python and experience with hands-on experience with automation frameworks.
Experience working with NVMe/storage firmware validation or similar hardware-software system environments.
Hands-on experience in log analysis and trace diagnostics (e.g., Protocol Analyzers, Beagle trace).
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to analyze complex systems.
Solid understanding of automated triage tools and their application in improving workflows.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with AI and machine learning algorithms to enhance automation processes.
Familiarity with additional diagnostic and debugging tools.
Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a cross-functional team.

BENEFITS SUMMARY: Individual compensation is determined by skills, qualifications, experience, and location. Compensation details listed in this posting reflect the base hourly rate or annual salary only, unless otherwise stated. In addition to base compensation, full-time roles are eligible for Medical, Dental, Vision, Commuter and 401K benefits with company matching.
