AI Application Engineer

Advantest

AI Application Engineer

This role sits at the intersection of semiconductor test engineering and AI, driving the transformation of traditional test workflows into AI-powered systems.

As a member of the US AI R&D team, you will work closely with 93K R&D engineers, AI engineers, and data scientists to define, develop, and deploy next-generation AI capabilities for the V93000 platform.

As an AI Application Engineer, you will act as the bridge between semiconductor test engineering workflows and AI systems, enabling step-change improvements in productivity such as:

  • test program generation
  • debug and root cause analysis
  • knowledge-driven engineering workflows

You will lead customer engagements for AI solutions, serving as the primary interface for:

  • use case discovery
  • product definition
  • feedback and iterative improvement
  • rollout and adoption of new capabilities

You will collaborate with global R&D teams to influence product direction and strategy for AI-enabled test solutions.

You will design and execute pre-sales and proof-of-concept activities, including:

  • customer demos
  • benchmark studies
  • pilot deployments

You will stay current with advances in AI/ML (e.g., LLMs, RAG, agent workflows) and drive internal and external enablement through workshops and training.

You will work in a hybrid environment combining:

  • Linux-based systems (e.g., Red Hat Enterprise Linux)
  • V93000 / SmarTest development ecosystem
  • Modern AI-assisted development workflows, including:
    • AI-enabled IDEs such as VS-Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Visual Studio Code
    • Markdown-driven prompt and agent design
    • Python-based automation and AI tooling
  • API-driven systems, version control (Git), and integration with AI platforms and services

Requirements:

  • Degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or equivalent
  • Strong experience as an Application Engineer on the V93000 platform
  • Solid understanding of AI concepts applied to engineering workflows, such as:
    • LLMs
    • retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
    • automation and code generation
  • Strong software skills (Java and Python), including:
    • test program development
    • scripting or tool development
  • Proven ability to translate customer problems into scalable technical solutions
  • Excellent customer-facing and pre-sales experience
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills
  • Ability to lead cross-functional projects and drive outcomes
  • High ownership mindset: proactive, self-directed, and execution-focused
  • Comfortable working in global, cross-functional environments
  • Curiosity and drive to stay at the forefront of AI innovation
  • Willingness to travel internationally (20–30%)
  • Candidates throughout the United States are welcome to apply; remote work options may be available.
