Responsibilities:

  • Provide technical leadership across cross-functional teams; review designs, unblock engineering, and ensure solution quality through architecture and code reviews.

  • Analyze AL/ML models and provide guidance on how to implement them on the FPGA, requiring detailed model analysis, and optimization for FPGA

  • Design reference architectures for AI/ML systems, including data ingestion, feature pipelines, model inferencing, evaluation, serving, benchmarking, and continuous improvement.

  • Architect and implement Generative AI solutions (when applicable) such as RAG, agentic workflows, prompt engineering patterns, guardrails, and evaluation frameworks, on FPGA platforms.

  • Select appropriate software framework and justify trade-offs throughput, latency, and manageability.

  • Build prototypes and proofs-of-concept (PoCs) to validate feasibility, performance, and value; turn successful PoCs into production-grade designs.

  • Create high-quality technical documentation (architecture diagrams, application and user guide) and present solutions to technical and executive stakeholders.
