Tech Lead (GenAI Design Engineer) | Santa Clara, CA, 95054

Role: Tech Lead Location: Santa Clara, CA, 95054 Job Description • We are seeking a Generative AI (GenAI) Design Engineer to join our team and drive innovation in AI powered solutions. This role involves designing, developing, and optimizing generative AI models and workflows for applications such as content creation, product design, and intelligent automation. • Develop forward surrogate models for CVD/ALD/etch chambers mapping geometry, gas chemistry, flow, temperature, and power to film uniformity, step coverage, particle behavior, and thermal outcomes. • Implement inverse design workflows where target performance specifications generate feasible chamber geometries, showerhead/baffle designs, and process conditions via generative or adjoint/topology optimization methods. • Build bi directional models that infer optimal process parameters for a given geometry and recommend geometry modifications when process latitude is insufficient. • Create high fidelity digital twins combining physics based solvers (CFD, plasma, heat transfer) with learned surrogate components for rapid design space exploration. • Develop robust multi objective optimization and uncertainty quantification workflows to ensure AI generated designs are manufacturable, robust to variation, and compatible with downstream yield requirements. Required Skills & Qualifications Education: Master‿s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Computational Engineering, AI/ML, or related field. Technical Expertise • Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow). • Experience with generative AI (LLMs, diffusion models, graph based models). • Knowledge of computational materials methods (DFT, MD, phase field modeling). Additional Skills • Familiarity with MLOps, HPC environments, and cloud deployment. • Understanding of thermodynamics, crystallography, and mechanical properties of materials.
