    Job Description

    We are seeking an Ai Hardware Design Engineer to join our team and drive innovation in AI-powered solutions. This role involves designing, developing, and optimizing generative AI models and workflows for applications such as product design, and intelligent automation.

    • Develop forward surrogate models for CVD/ALD/etch chambers mapping geometry, gas chemistry, flow, temperature, and power to film-uniformity, step-coverage, particle behavior, and thermal outcomes.
    • Implement inverse-design workflows where target performance specifications generate feasible chamber geometries, showerhead/baffle designs, and process conditions via generative or adjoint/topology-optimization methods.
    • Build bi-directional models that infer optimal process parameters for a given geometry and recommend geometry modifications when process latitude is insufficient.
    • Create high-fidelity digital twins combining physics-based solvers (CFD, plasma, heat transfer) with learned surrogate components for rapid design-space exploration.
    • Platform & MLOps Infrastructure: Implement and maintain robust, containerized MLOps systems (Docker, Kubernetes) in HPC environments to deploy models efficiently.
    • Develop robust multi-objective optimization and uncertainty-quantification workflows to ensure AI-generated designs are manufacturable, robust to variation, and compatible with downstream yield requirements.
    • Collaborate with physicists, domain experts, and software engineers to validate that AI models comply with fundamental scientific laws.

    Required Skills & Qualifications

    • Education: Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computational/Electrical Engineering, AI/ML, or related field.
    • Technical Expertise:
      • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
      • Experience with generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models, graph-based models).
      • Knowledge of computational materials methods (DFT, MD, phase-field modeling).
    • Additional Skills:
      • Familiarity with MLOps, HPC environments, and cloud deployment.
      • Proven experience (code repos, publications) bridging simulation software, hardware design, and ML.
