NVIDIA has transformed computer graphics, PC gaming, and accelerated computing for more than 25 years through exceptional technology and the people who build it. In semiconductor manufacturing, our role is to enable the ecosystem, not compete within it. We partner with fabs, equipment manufacturers, and software providers to make inspection, metrology, and manufacturing intelligence dramatically faster on the NVIDIA platform. Our team builds the software that makes this possible: models, adaptation and evaluation workflows, and deployable inference capabilities that partners integrate into their own tools. We work in environments where labeled data is limited and proprietary, distributions shift across tools and fabs, production budgets are tight, and software must operate inside air-gapped facilities. We’re seeking a Principal Systems Software Engineer for Semiconductor Inspection in Santa Clara. This is a hands-on architect role: you will define the approach, build it, evaluate it, and demonstrate the results. You will work across computer vision, time-series modeling, multimodal AI, anomaly detection, model adaptation, evaluation, and production inference. Success means technology that a fab or equipment vendor can integrate, operate, and trust—not only a successful internal demonstration. What you’ll be doing: Define and prototype AI system architectures spanning optical and e-beam inspection, wafer and mask inspection, metrology, defect review, equipment signals, and process data. Advance world foundation model capabilities for semiconductor manufacturing, including vision, time-series and multimodal representation learning, model adaptation, domain transfer, and data-scarce defect understanding. Develop workflows for defect detection, classification, localization, segmentation, nuisance filtering, ADC, AD
At Snowflake, we are powering the era of the agentic enterprise. To usher in this new era, we seek AI-native thinkers across every function who are energized by the opportunity to reinvent how they work. You don’t just use tools; you possess an innate curiosity, treating AI as a high-trust collaborator that is core to how you solve problems and accelerate your impact. We look for low-ego individuals who thrive in dynamic and fast-moving environments and move with an experimental mindset — who rapidly test emerging capabilities to discover simpler, more powerful ways to deliver results. At Snowflake, your role isn't just to execute a function, but to help redefine the future of how work gets done. Observe by Snowflake is a high-growth SaaS observability platform built on the Snowflake AI Data Cloud, enabling businesses to troubleshoot modern distributed applications 10x faster. Now, as a core part of Snowflake, we’ve reached a major milestone in the evolution of the Snowflake platform. By bringing AI-powered observability directly into the Snowflake ecosystem, we’ve created the first truly unified platform for telemetry and business data. We’re looking for an Implementation Engineer to help enterprise customers successfully deploy, configure, and operationalize Observe. This is a hands-on, post-sales technical role focused on delivering strong first outcomes, accelerating time-to-value, and establishing a solid foundation for long-term customer success. Implementation Engineers are deeply technical, customer-facing practitioners who work closely with customer platform, SRE, DevOps, and application teams during onboarding and early adoption. In this role, you’ll translate existing observability architectures (including OpenTelemetry-based pipelines, Splunk, ELK, and other monitoring solutions) into scalable, production-ready implementations on Observe—using best practices while balancing speed, quality, and customer enablement. Implementation Engineers focus on initia
About the Team Our mission at OpenAI is to discover and enact the path to safe, beneficial AGI. To do this, we believe that many technical breakthroughs are needed in generative modeling, reinforcement learning, large-scale optimization, active learning, and other areas. The team builds the performance-critical systems that allow OpenAI's models to run efficiently across a diverse set of AI accelerators. We work across the inference stack, from low-level kernels and compilers through model execution, to unlock the full capabilities of the underlying hardware. About the Role As a Software Engineer, Trainium, you will help bring OpenAI's inference workloads to AWS Trainium and build the software stack required to run cutting-edge frontier models efficiently on the platform. This is a deeply technical, cross-stack role spanning kernels, compilers, and model execution. You will work on the systems needed to support OpenAI's inference stack on Trainium, including developing and optimizing high-performance kernels, improving compiler support, and enabling efficient execution of the model forward pass. You'll work closely with engineers across inference, compilers, kernels, and ML systems to identify performance bottlenecks and build the software needed to take full advantage of Trainium. The work may range from low-level hardware-specific optimization to compiler and runtime improvements to integrating new model architectures into the inference stack. If you enjoy working at the intersection of ML systems, compilers, kernels, and accelerator hardware, this role is for you. We're looking for engineers who are self-directed, comfortable operating across abstraction layers, and excited to solve challenging performance problems for frontier-scale AI systems. In This Role, You Will Build and optimize OpenAI's inference stack for AWS Trainium. Develop high-performance kernels for critical model operations and workloads.

ABOUT BASETEN Baseten powers mission-critical inference for the world's most dynamic AI companies, like Cursor, Notion, OpenEvidence, Abridge, Clay, Gamma and Writer. By uniting applied AI research, flexible infrastructure, and seamless developer tooling, we enable companies operating at the frontier of AI to bring cutting-edge models into production. We're growing quickly and recently raised our $1.5B Series F , led by Altimeter Capital, Conviction Partners, and Spark Capital. Join us and help build the platform engineers turn to to ship AI products. We are looking for an engineer with strong experience in machine learning and solid foundations in maths and computer science to join our growing Post-Training team at Baseten. Custom models are instrumental to the success of Baseten customers. By inference volume, the overwhelming majority of traffic at Baseten is to and from models that have been post-trained in some way, whether that be through reinforcement learning, supervised finetuning, a recent technique from the literature, or an in-house research technique from Baseten. The Post-Training team is responsible for the success of our customers’ post-trained models, and we employ a wide array of techniques to produce models that are more efficient and higher quality than even the biggest closed source models for the customer’s specific needs. Your role as a research engineer is to build the in-house tooling to support all of this. We care about training a wide spectrum of different model architectures with a variety of techniques efficiently and at scale. At times this involves zooming deep into a particular technical topic, but more often if involves working across the stack as a whole - systems-level concepts like Kubernetes, cgroups, storage systems, and networking topologies, as well as PyTorch distributed tensor computation, and GPU kernels.
