About the role
Broadcom’s GTO team is seeking a Principal AI Development Engineer to serve as a strategic leader and the primary architect delivering agentic AI systems across global hardware and software divisions. The role operates at the intersection of Generative AI, RAG, and high-scale fullstack development.
What you'll do
- Lead and execute AI initiatives from initial conception to production across global hardware and software engineering business units. - Define the technical roadmap for AI orchestration, leveraging frameworks such as LangGraph. - Bridge production-grade fullstack development with AI logic, establishing standards for non-deterministic software at scale. - Partner with infrastructure teams to optimize the deployment of AI models and vector databases within Kubernetes environments. - Conduct formal design reviews, mentor senior staff, and guide architectural options across the organization. - Translate engineering challenges into agentic solutions and communicate technical roadmaps to technical teams and executive stakeholders.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field (Master’s or PhD preferred). - Minimum of 12 years of Software Engineering experience, with a track record of leading and delivering complex, large-scale projects. - Hands-on experience building agentic workflows, RAG architectures, and complex orchestration frameworks such as LangGraph or CrewAI. - Deep frontend and backend fullstack development experience, including proficiency in Python and modern enterprise languages. - Knowledge of vector databases such as Pinecone, Weaviate, or Milvus and the programming principles required to scale them. - Proficiency in Kubernetes, Docker, modern CI/CD patterns, GitHub, and Test-Driven Development (TDD) for AI outputs.
Nice to have
- Experience managing AI-driven automation for a mixed set of software and hardware assets. - Experience running cross-departmental projects across an enterprise. - Experience conducting peer evaluations and formal design reviews across enterprise systems.
