Staff ML Systems Engineer

ers save time and accomplish more by automating the tedious and time-consuming task of designing printed circuit boards (PCBs). Our small team is composed of experts in electrical engineering, electromagnetic simulation, ML/AI, and high-performance computing (HPC). We are inventing and leveraging novel techniques to solve the decades-old problem of automating circuit board design where today hundreds of billions of dollars are spent. We have raised $25 million in Series B funding from some of the very best and are charging full-speed toward our goal. No matter where we come from, we're united by a common vision for the future and a core set of values we think will get us there: Focus on the missionBuild great things that help humansDemonstrate gritNever stop learningPursue excellence We're looking for a Senior or Staff ML Systems Engineer to join Quilter's Placer Team and build the infrastructure that moves research from prototype to production reliably and efficiently. The Role The Placer is responsible for automated component placement on PCBs. This role focuses on the systems and infrastructure that support the full ML lifecycle: training pipelines, data generation and cleaning, experiment management, orchestration, serving, A/B testing, and CI/CD. You'll be building the infrastructure that moves research from prototype to production reliably and efficiently. You'll also play a key role in systems design review and long-range architectural planning as the team scales. This is a fully distributed team. We expect high autonomy and high ownership. What Youʼll Do Design, build, and maintain ML infrastructure across training, evaluation, serving, and monitoringOwn data pipelines including generation, cleaning, validation, and versioningBuild and improve experiment tracking, orchestration, and reproducibility toolingImplement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and A/B testing infrastructureLead and formalize design review processes across the teamIdentify architectural risks early and guide the team toward sustainable systems decisions What Weʼre Looking For 7+ years of industry experience building and operating ML systems in productionProven track record as a key player in the success of a production-grade ML system end-to-endDeep familiarity with training pipelines, serving infrastructure, and experiment managementStrong software engineering fundamentals and systems design sensibilityExperience driving design reviews and improving engineering processes within a teamComfort operating with high autonomy in ambiguous problem spacesExperience with GPU-accelerated workloads and orchestrationStrong communication and collaboration skills Preferred 7+ years of industry experienceFamiliarity with ML workflows involving optimization, RL, or combinatorial problemsExperience building infrastructure for small, research-heavy teams Please note: We are an equal opportunity employer.
