About the Role
Our EDA tool accelerates the design and verification of silicon by integrating with the engineer's workflow to assist with design, verification, and debugging. This role focuses on manufacturing synthetic training data with programmatic ground truth, mining agent runs for high-quality trajectories, and negotiating access to real customer data to improve AI agent performance.
Responsibilities
- Make models better at hardware design, verification, and EDA workflows.
- Own the data flywheel from agent runs, including rejection sampling, distillation, and mining eval-passing trajectories.
- Identify, evaluate, and acquire datasets relevant to hardware design, verification, and EDA workflows.
- Define rubrics, curate golden reference examples, and assess data quality with verification engineers.
- Operate data ingestion pipelines, monitor for quality regressions and coverage gaps, and maintain a structured catalog of data sources, acquisition strategies, and lineage.
- Negotiate access to customer data on-prem and federated, handle redaction and IP constraints, and build external replicas of customer environments.
- Manage engineers across synthetic data, verification SME curation, data infrastructure, and forward-deployed data engineering as the Data team scales.
Requirements
- Built or used a data flywheel: model outputs, curated, into the next training round.
- Approach data acquisition as an engineering problem: systematic, measurable, and outcome-driven.
- Shipped a synthetic-data or training-data pipeline that produced a measurable downstream model improvement.
- Can evaluate data quality independently, spotting noise, bias, and gaps.
- Comfortable working across multiple technical roles and synthesizing feedback from domain experts, ML engineers, and pipeline engineers.
- Organized and documentation-minded: track provenance, ownership, and lineage as a matter of habit.
