About the job
About Us:
Axiomatic AI is pioneering a new generation of AI systems that employ the scientific method's rigor. By integrating deep learning with formal logic and physics-based modeling, we develop AI systems that are both verifiable and interpretable. Our solutions work in tandem with human researchers, enhancing their capabilities in critical scientific and engineering workflows.
Our Mission, 30×30, is to achieve a 30-fold improvement in the speed, accessibility, and affordability of semiconductor and photonic hardware development by the year 2030.
We are on a mission to transform hardware design and simulation within these sectors and are assembling a passionate team of professionals dedicated to translating groundbreaking research into commercial products.
Position Overview
We are in search of a Measurement Software Engineer to design and implement AX-Measure, the core of our autonomous laboratory. Your role will involve developing robust software layers that convert high-level AI decisions into precise, low-level commands for hardware operations. Your programming will govern millions of dollars worth of equipment, manage terabytes of measurement data, and ensure our 'self-driving' lab operates seamlessly.
Responsibilities
- Create unified APIs enabling our AI agents to interact with various instruments, including oscilloscopes, network analyzers, SMUs, signal generators, and lasers.
- Develop high-concurrency execution engines for coordinating parallel measurements across multiple wafer chucks or cryostats.
- Design data pipelines and storage solutions to efficiently ingest high-frequency data streams, making them readily accessible for AI model queries.
- Implement 'guardrail' logic to prevent AI from initiating unsafe operations and to verify AI outputs.
- Integrate measurement outcomes with data analysis and modeling frameworks to enable closed-loop semiconductor development.
Requirements
- B. S. or M. S. in Electrical or Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
- 2+ years of extensive experience in production-grade Python, including proficiency in packaging (Poetry/UV), type hinting, decorators, and context managers.
- 2+ years of experience in automating hardware through VISA, SCPI, TCP/IP, or gRPC.
- 2+ years of experience in designing SDKs or APIs.
- 2+ years of experience in developing structured scientific data formats (HDF5) and time-series databases.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with Rust or C++ for performance-critical applications.
