Founding AI Engineer

We are looking for a Founding AI Engineer with significant experience shipping agentic AI systems to own the core intelligence of Bronco’s agents. The ideal candidate is a high-agency individual who has previously worked as a founder, founding engineer, or in an industry research lab. You will design the training pipelines, reward models, and evaluation harnesses for our agents. Your work will be instrumental in automating large swaths of repetitive chip verification and design, helping to keep Moore’s law going.

What will you be doing?

• Design and implement post-training pipelines for domain-specific model behavior across DV tasks.

• Develop reinforcement learning setups, including reward modeling and RLHF/RLAIF pipelines, to improve agent decision-making.

• Build tool interfaces and execution harnesses that allow models to interact reliably with EDA environments.

• Iterate with silicon domain experts and customers to encode verification knowledge into training data, reward signals, and evaluations.

• Stay current with frontier research in LLM reasoning, RL for agents, and tool use, bringing relevant advancements into production.
