General Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated and technically solid
Staff Engineer, Silicon & Data Automation Systems
to help build and expand a growing automation team supporting silicon and system yield engineering, spanning design, DFT, diagnostics, and yield engineering workflows. This role will focus on developing production-grade automation, data pipelines, database-backed applications, and engineering tools that improve the speed, quality, and scalability of complex semiconductor engineering workflows.

This position is part of a broader effort to increase automation capacity within the silicon engineering organization, beginning with recent engineering roles in the Bangalore Design Center (BDC). The engineer will work closely with U.S.-based yield automation leadership and stakeholders, including regular overlap with U.S. Central Time morning hours.

This is a
senior individual contributor role
.



The successful candidate will build new automation capabilities under architectural guidance, contribute to robust production systems, and use modern AI-assisted engineering practices to increase development velocity and quality. This role requires an
AI-first engineering mindset
, where LLM-based coding agents and AI-assisted automation tools are used as core productivity multipliers while maintaining strong human ownership of correctness, security, review, and production safety.

The ideal candidate is a strong Linux, data, database, and automation engineer who can work effectively in complex semiconductor engineering environments. Prior experience with semiconductor engineering domains such as silicon design, DFT, validation, diagnostics, or yield is strongly preferred but not required for candidates with solid automation and data engineering depth.
