Infrastructure Engineer, AI for Chip Design

Full-time On-site San Jose CA Austin TX or Taiwan

Our client seeks an Infrastructure Engineer to design and operate the platform that runs our agentic design-automation systems both on our own multi-cloud infrastructure and inside our customers on-prem private-cloud and air-gapped environments. This position spans cloud Kubernetes and containers enterprise access and security the compute fabric that runs EDA tools in our on-premises deployment and the AI/ML and data infrastructure GPU clusters data pipelines and artifact delivery behind our agents. Youll work on how the platform is built secured packaged and shipped so it runs reliably everywhere our customers do.

The role spans multiple technical areas including:

• Architecting and operating our internal multi-cloud infrastructure across GCP AWS and Azure provisioning networking infrastructure observability reliability and cost.

• Designing and delivering on-prem and private-cloud deployments including air-gapped environments packaged to drop cleanly into each customers existing infrastructure.

• Owning the Kubernetes and container foundation: cluster architecture Helm/packaging autoscaling multi-tenancy and safe lifecycle and upgrades across every cloud and on-prem target.

• Building enterprise access and security end to end RBAC and ReBAC authorization SSO/identity integration secrets management and audit.

• Building the compute infrastructure that runs EDA tools under the our clients compute fabric scheduling isolation and resource management for licensed EDA workloads that fit and federate into diverse customer environments.

• Standing up and scaling AI/ML infrastructure GPU clusters and scheduling distributed training model serving and inference and model/environment management.

• Building the data and artifact layer data pipelines and storage artifact and model repository management and the release/ship pipeline that packages signs and distributes builds and models to cloud on-prem and air-gapped customers.

• Deep experience operating production infrastructure on a major cloud (GCP AWS or Azure) with working knowledge of more than one.

• Expert-level Kubernetes and container skills (Docker/OCI Helm) cluster operations workload isolation and multi-tenancy.

• Proven track record delivering software into on-prem private-cloud or air-gapped customer environments.

• Strong grasp of authorization and enterprise security RBAC/ReBAC identity/SSO secrets and audit.

• Proficiency in a systems/automation language (Go Node Python or Rust) and infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform).

• CI/CD and artifact/release management experience build pipelines registries signing and distribution.

• GPU cluster operations and ML infrastructure (Kubernetes device plugins or Slurm distributed training high-throughput inference serving).

• EDA / HPC / licensed-tool compute environments and schedulers (LSF SGE Slurm).

• Fine-grained / ReBAC authorization systems (Zanzibar-style e.g. OpenFGA or SpiceDB).

• Data pipeline / data-platform work (orchestration lineage) and distributing large model/artifact bundles to air-gapped sites.

• Building portable packaged deployments Helm charts operators offline install bundles across heterogeneous customer infrastructure.

• Enterprise security & compliance (SOC 2 supply-chain/SBOM artifact signing).

You will have the opportunity to:

• Help define a new category of semiconductor design technology.

• Invent the agent-native algorithms and tools that will form the foundation of future automated design workflows.

• Develop GPU-accelerated algorithms that make previously impractical design and optimization workflows possible.

• Build AI systems that perform complex consequential engineering worknot just generate recommendations.

• Work with real semiconductor workflows tools and private engineering knowledge.

• See your research deployed directly with leading chip-design organizations.

• Work in a small highly technical team where individual contributions can shape the product and company.

• Collaborate with colleagues across San Jose Austin and Taiwan.

• Change how chips are designed rather than focus on only one design or one point tool.

• Our client is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds who are excited to combine ambitious research with meaningful engineering impact.
