Strongly Preferred
- Semiconductor industry experience.
- Experience integrating AI solutions with:
- GitHub
- Perforce
- Confluence
- SharePoint
- Jira
- Teams
- engineering databases
- Experience building AI solutions that operate on proprietary engineering documentation and source repositories.
- Familiarity with secure enterprise AI deployments.
What Success Looks Like (First 6 Months)
The contractor delivers several reusable AI assets that are actively used by engineering teams, including examples such as:
- Engineering knowledge assistants.
- Test-plan analysis and review agents.
- Verification productivity tools.
- Debug and failure-triage assistants.
- Reporting and operational automation solutions.
- Workflow orchestration agents spanning multiple engineering tools.
Success is measured by adoption, engineer time savings, workflow completion rates, and reduction of repetitive manual work.
Compensation:
The hourly rate for this position is between $XX-XX per hour.
