AI Engineer – Foundational Models with Multi-Modality (Analog IC Design)

Job Title

AI Engineer – Foundational Models with Multi-Modality (Analog IC Design)

Role Summary

Join the Design Enablement global team as a CAD Methodology & Flow Engineer focused on integrating generative AI into analog IC design workflows. The role advances internal tools and methodologies to improve productivity across NXP design centers worldwide.

Work with international teams to develop AI-driven capabilities (chatbot, knowledge base, semantic search, MLOps) that understand analog IC terminology and support design engineers.

Experience Level

Mid-level - requires a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience (see Education Requirements for degree expectation).

Responsibilities

Primary duties involve developing AI solutions and tooling that integrate with analog IC design environments and supporting global adoption.

• Define and implement methodologies and tools with the IP and design teams to support analog IC design flows.
• Integrate generative AI models into design workflows and internal chatbot platforms to improve context awareness for analog IC concepts.
• Design and maintain a domain-specific knowledge base and semantic search to support analog IC understanding.
• Develop, deploy, and operate MLOps pipelines and deployment processes for models and services.
• Collaborate with cross-functional, international teams to ensure smooth integration and adoption of AI tooling.
• Write technical documentation, maintain quality and performance standards, and support users worldwide.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform the role.

• Strong Python expertise, including object-oriented design.
• Practical experience with GNNs and open-source multi-modal foundational models.
• Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face libraries and/or CUDA.
• Experience working in Linux environments; familiarity with Bash and build systems (CMake).
• Experience with AWS services relevant to model hosting (AWS Bedrock, Lambda) and cloud-based workflows.
• Database knowledge, including vector databases and semantic search technologies.
• Experience with MLOps practices, CI/CD pipelines, and deployment tooling for ML workloads.
• Strong written and verbal communication, documentation, analysis, and teamwork skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Analog IC design knowledge or affinity with analog design.
• Experience with Docker, containerization, Git, CI/CD frameworks, and ticketing systems (e.g., Jira).
• Familiarity with testing platforms (e.g., Robot Framework), Cadence SKILL, Streamlit, and OSS governance.
• C/C++ or additional object-oriented programming experience.

Education Requirements

Minimum MS/MSc degree in Electrical Engineering with software expertise; minimum 5 years of relevant experience. Preference indicated for candidates with analog IC design knowledge or strong affinity to analog design.
