• Develop and deploy AI/ML pipelines and inference services for hardware/software integrated systems.
• Experience with asynchronous programming, multi-threading, and application debugging.
• Strong knowledge in machine-to-machine communication, network setups, security, data transfer protocols, multi-threading, asynchronous programming, and network protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, and gRPC.
• Create SDKs and APIs for customers to interface with our semiconductor test systems, and package/distribute them as NuGet packages.
• Lead architecture discussions and implement best practices for system design, coding standards, and CI/CD workflows.
• Contribute across multiple languages including C#, Python, Java, and C++, ensuring interoperability and optimal performance.
• Integrate MCP (Model Context Protocol) and AI agent workflows into enterprise-grade test and automation platforms.
• Conduct code reviews, write unit/integration tests, and ensure production-grade quality through TDD.
• Work with SQL/NoSQL databases and optimize the data processing.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver solutions for on-premises, hybrid, and cloud-based environments.
• Travel occasionally, including internationally (10%–20%).
• Perform all other duties as assigned.

Requirements, Education & Skills:

• Required: B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field; M.S. preferred. Dual degrees in EE/ME are advantageous.
