Forward Deployed Engineer - Semiconductor

Job description

About the team OpenAI’s Forward Deployed Engineering team partners with leading semiconductor companies to deploy production-grade AI systems across chip design, verification, and tooling workflows. We operate at the intersection of customer delivery and core platform development, embedding deeply with customers to translate frontier model capabilities into systems that materially reduce design cycles, improve verification quality, and accelerate innovation. Our work turns early, high-touch deployments into repeatable solution patterns, reference architectures, and evaluation practices that scale across the semiconductor ecosystem — from chip designers to EDA vendors and, longer-term, fabrication partners. About the role: We are hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) to lead end-to-end deployments of OpenAI’s models inside semiconductor and chip design organizations. You will work with customers who are deep experts in hardware architecture, RTL, verification, and performance engineering, translating complex workflows, massive codebases, and long-running toolchains into production AI systems. Your focus will span end-to-end semiconductor workflows, from chip design and verificati...
