About the role
This role involves architecting autonomous AI Agents and the agentic and data pipelines that power them, building robust CI/CD deployment paths, and pushing the limits of agent performance profiling and evaluation.
What you'll do
- Design and develop autonomous AI Agents capable of multi-step reasoning, planning, and tool execution to automate complex manufacturing workflows.
- Implement Agentic frameworks to orchestrate LLM interactions with internal APIs, databases, and software tools.
- Build and maintain agent evaluation harnesses to benchmark agent accuracy, reliability, and task success across complex, multi-step workflows.
- Analyze and profile agent and inference workloads to identify and resolve bottlenecks in compute and latency, using agent observability and profiling tools (e.g., PyTorch Profiler, LangSmith, OpenTelemetry).
- Implement interoperable multi-agent systems using the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Create/maintain CI/CD pipelines for deploying AI Agents to Kubernetes and containerized environments in the cloud.
- Design and implement security controls for autonomous AI Agents, including sandboxing, access control, and mitigation of prompt-injection and tool-misuse risks.
- Mentor engineers on agentic system design paradigms and optimization techniques.
What you'll need
- Technical Degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s in Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field).
- Experience optimizing inference engines (vLLM, TensorRT-LLM) for autonomous AI Agent and LLM workloads.
- Experience developing GenAI applications and AI Agents using one or more frameworks (Microsoft Agent Framework or Google Agent Development Kit preferred).
- Proficiency with Large Language Models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, function calling/tool use, and Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning.
- Experience designing and implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, including document ingestion, chunking, embeddings, and vector search.
- Experience building and operating end-to-end systems that automate the testing, evaluation, and deployment of autonomous AI Agents.
- Familiarity with MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools, plugins, and skills, and the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol for building interoperable multi-agent systems.
- Understanding of AI Agent security practices, including sandboxing, access control, and mitigating prompt-injection and tool-misuse risks.
- Familiarity with machine learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
- Strong scripting and programming skills, with software development skills and a desire to work in a cloud environment.
- 8+ years of relevant industry experience, spanning large-scale data/ML pipelines and/or production Agentic AI systems.
- Experience with Kubernetes for orchestrating containerized applications, including deployment and scaling of AI Agent workloads.
Nice to have
- Experience designing and coordinating Multi-Agent Systems, including collaboration between specialized agents.
- Experience designing and operating agent swarms for distributed, parallelized task execution.
- Experience with agent profiling and evaluation tooling to identify performance regressions and bottlenecks across agent pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with LangChain, LangGraph, or CrewAI.
- Proficiency in TypeScript and/or Rust.
- Knowledge of computer vision and/or signal processing, including techniques for classification and feature extraction.
