Responsibilities

Work directly with customer engineers and domain experts to identify and scope opportunities for solutions
Lead ambiguous, zero-to-one engagements with customer engineering and ops leaders; turn loosely-defined problems into crisp milestones, design docs, and shipped software
Architect, implement, and harden production applications and data flows (APIs, batch/stream pipelines, model serving, integration with fab systems/equipment), optimizing for reliability, latency, and cost
Drive pilots to prove economic impact; take pilots to scale (1→N) across lines, tools, or sites with change management, training, and rollout plans
Own operational excellence: SLOs, monitoring/alerting, incident response, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement
Navigate security/compliance and physical-environment constraints common to fabs; design for degraded networks, access controls, and safety
Mentor engineers; elevate code quality, testing discipline, and design rigor across the team
Communicate at executive altitude: quantify impact, manage risk and dependencies, and influence decisions with data
