• Build and prototype AI solutions using Python, NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn

• Develop deep learning models using PyTorch or TensorFlow/Keras, including CNNs and transformer-based architectures

• Apply supervised and unsupervised learning techniques, feature engineering, model selection, and validation strategies

• Work on image processing and algorithm development for defect detection and process optimization

• Contribute to LLM-based solutions, including embeddings, fine-tuning, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering, product, and research teams to translate system requirements into AI solutions

• Participate in technical design discussions, code reviews, and performance optimization

Requirements

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in Python, machine learning, deep learning, algorithm development, and image processing

• 4+ years of practical experience with PyTorch and/or TensorFlow/Keras

• Strong understanding of ML concepts including feature engineering, regularization, cross-validation, and ensemble methods

• Experience with deep learning architectures such as CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, Transformers, and attention mechanisms

• Exposure to LLMs, embeddings, vector databases (e.g. FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone), and prompt engineering

• Solid SQL fundamentals and experience working with data pipelines

• Proficiency with Git/GitHub, Jupyter notebooks, and basic Docker usage

• Mandatory background in product, semiconductor, or hardware manufacturing companies

• Educational background meeting one of the following:

  • PhD with 2+ years of relevant experience

  • Master’s degree with 5+ years of relevant experience

  • Bachelor’s degree with 7+ years of relevant experience

Benefits

• Work on complex, real-world AI problems with direct impact on physical systems and manufacturing outcomes

• High ownership role within an engineering-driven, innovation-focused environment

• Collaboration with senior engineers, researchers, and applied scientists

• Exposure to large-scale, production-grade AI and computer vision systems

• Hybrid working model supporting on-site collaboration and focused individual work
