About the job
Build and deploy evaluated AI-assisted engineering workflows and shared tooling across accelerator software teams to improve development, debugging, testing, and triage.
What you'll do
- Embed with firmware, runtime, performance, and simulation teams to build workflows for coding, debugging, triage, test generation, and documentation.

- Expert hands-on experience with agentic development tools such as OpenAI Codex and Claude Code, LLM API integration, and evaluation building.
- Shipped internal tooling or developer-productivity work that engineers adopted.
- Able to define a self-directed roadmap, earn skeptical engineers’ trust, and communicate clearly in writing.
Nice to have
