Job Description:

Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced AI Technical Leader to drive the design and deployment of next-generation agentic AI systems optimized for FPGA/ASIC platforms.

This role sits at the convergence of:

  • Large Language Models (LLMs)

  • Agentic AI & autonomous systems

  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

  • Hardware-aware AI system design (FPGA / ASIC / EDA)

You will define system architecture, lead technical strategy, and deliver scalable AI solutions that tightly integrate software intelligence with hardware acceleration, with a strong focus on AI model optimization and deployment on FPGA.

Key Responsibilities

AI Architecture & System Design

  • Architect and implement end-to-end agentic AI systems (data → reasoning → action)

  • Design scalable multi-agent orchestration frameworks

  • Build enterprise-grade RAG pipelines for knowledge integration and retrieval

  • Define system-level architecture bridging cloud, edge, and hardware acceleration

Agentic AI & LLM Development

  • Develop advanced agent workflows, including:

    • Tool-using agents
    • Planning and reasoning agents
    • Multi-agent collaboration systems
  • Evaluate and integrate state-of-the-art LLMs (open-source and proprietary)

  • Optimize prompting, memory, and reasoning strategies for performance and reliability

AI Model Optimization on FPGA (Core Focus)

  • Lead AI model optimization and deployment on FPGA platforms, including:

    • Quantization (INT8 / BF16 / mixed precision)
    • Graph compilation and operator fusion
    • Model partitioning across CPU/GPU/FPGA
    • Memory and bandwidth optimization
  • Develop workflows to map AI models (e.g., CV, LLM inference) from PyTorch/Hugging Face to FPGA

  • Enable low-latency, high-efficiency inference pipelines on FPGA-based systems

  • Collaborate with hardware teams to align model architecture with FPGA constraints (DSP, BRAM, interconnect)

Hardware-Aware AI Co-Design

  • Co-design AI systems with:

    • FPGA acceleration
    • ASIC platforms
    • Heterogeneous compute architectures (CPU/GPU/FPGA)
  • Integrate AI workflows into EDA toolchains and hardware design flows

  • Drive innovations in software-hardware co-optimization

Framework & Platform Development

  • Build internal AI platforms leveraging:

    • LangChain
    • LlamaIndex
    • Custom agent orchestration frameworks

  • Develop reusable components for:

    • Memory management
    • Tool integration
    • Knowledge retrieval and indexing

  • Enable scalable deployment pipelines for AI applications on FPGA

Technical Leadership

  • Lead architecture design reviews and set technical direction

  • Mentor senior engineers and guide cross-functional teams

  • Drive innovation at the intersection of AI systems and semiconductor platforms

What Makes This Role Unique

  • Define agentic AI architecture for hardware-native AI systems

  • Work at the frontier of:

    • AI reasoning systems

    • FPGA-based acceleration

    • Next-generation computing platforms

  • High-impact role shaping AI + semiconductor convergence

Impact

You will enable a new class of intelligent systems where AI agents are tightly coupled with hardware, delivering:

  • Real-time decision-making pipelines

  • Efficient, scalable AI deployment on FPGA

  • End-to-end automation from model to hardware execution

Summary

This role is ideal for a senior technical leader who can:

  • Bridge LLM + Agentic AI + RAG with FPGA/ASIC system architecture

  • Drive AI model optimization and deployment on FPGA

  • Lead innovation in next-generation AI + hardware integrated systems

Qualifications:

Required

  • Strong experience in LLMs, agentic AI, or RAG systems

  • Proven track record in large-scale AI system architecture and deployment

  • Solid programming skills in Python/C++ and modern AI frameworks

  • Experience designing distributed or production AI systems

  • Strong system-level thinking across software and infrastructure

Preferred / Plus

  • Experience with FPGA, ASIC, or hardware acceleration platforms

  • Familiarity with FPGA development flows and toolchains (e.g., synthesis, compilation, HLS, runtime)

  • Experience with AI model optimization for hardware (quantization, compilation, deployment)

  • Exposure to EDA tools and semiconductor design workflows

  • Background in heterogeneous computing systems (CPU/GPU/FPGA)

Job Type:

Regular

Shift:

Shift 1 (China)
