Engineer I - Software Development (Python / AI)

Engineer I – Software Development (Python / AI) We are a small software team embedded within semiconductor manufacturing focused on transforming how production data is collected, analyzed, and turned into actionable insights. Our technology stack is evolving toward Python‑centric services, AI/ML‑powered analytics, and LLM‑driven tools. Responsibilities Build Python services, APIs, and data pipelines that collect, transform, and deliver semiconductor manufacturing data at scale.

Develop and deploy AI/ML models and LLM‑based solutions that automate analysis and surface actionable insights for engineers. Design and maintain the data infrastructure (databases, messaging, web platforms) that the team and factory rely on daily. Work directly with end‑users—test engineers, yield engineers, process engineers—to understand problems and ship solutions.

Identify and implement automation opportunities with an AI/ML‑first mindset. Maintain clear technical documentation so the team can grow without tribal knowledge. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Information Systems, Mathematics, or a related field.

Proficiency in Python—experience building real applications, pipelines, or tooling. Strong SQL skills, including stored procedures and complex queries across relational databases. Working familiarity with AI/ML concepts and at least one of: scikit‑learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, LLM APIs, or AI‑assisted development tools.

Ability to translate business problems into technical solutions without needing everything spelled out. Preferred Qualifications Hands‑on experience building or integrating LLM‑based solutions (RAG pipelines, prompt engineering, agent frameworks). Ability to direct AI coding tools through clear intent and prompt articulation to produce production‑quality code.

Experience with AI/ML model development, evaluation, and deployment in production environments. Knowledge of statistics, data mining, or data visualization techniques. Docker/containerization and container orchestration.

Event‑driven architectures and pub‑sub messaging (Redis, Kafka). Git, CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, Jenkins), and test‑driven development practices. Linux/Unix command‑line proficiency; web server administration (NGINX) is a plus.
