Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) - SF
Department: Engineering
Location: Palo Alto Office
Compensation: $150K – $250K • Offers Equity
Employment Type: FullTime
This job requires you to be in our Palo Alto office, and travel to customer sites in the Bay Area.
The Role
You'll deliver our AI platform to hardware labs of the world's leading semiconductor and consumer electronics companies.
About Voltai
Voltai is developing models and agents to evaluate, design, and interact with hardware and electronic systems.
The Team
We're hackers, researchers, and operators obsessed with building AI for electronic systems and semiconductors. Our team includes former Stanford professors, SAIL researchers, Olympiad medalists, and executives from Synopsys, GlobalFoundries, and Cadence. Despite the name drops, we care far more about execution than titles.
We're backed by Stanford, Silicon Valley's top investors, and leadership at Google, AMD, Broadcom among others. In other words, we have deep, deep access to the industry.
What You'll Do
Own customer deployments at offices across the SF Bay Area, Cupertino, and Santa Clara.
Port features from our cloud platform to on-prem environments inside some of the most locked-down infrastructure on the planet.
Manage cloud deployments across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OpenShift: standing them up, keeping them healthy, debugging them when they're not.
Be the feedback loop between customer environments and our engineering team.
What We're Looking For
We care about how you think, not how you keyword-match
3+ years in backend engineering, full-stack development, or infrastructure/DevOps: we're open to other disciplines (e.g. mobile, frontend) provided you deeply understand web applications and their deployment
Strong systems design and debugging instincts
Comfortable with the Docker ecosystem, cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), and IaC tools
Excellent communication: you'll be on-site with senior engineers and executives at world-class companies
Willingness to travel, mostly in California
Bonus points for
On-prem deployment experience in enterprise or air-gapped environments
Prior field engineering, solutions engineering, or customer-facing technical roles
Experience in EDA, semiconductor, or hardware-adjacent software environments
Our AI Bullshit Meter
We are very good at catching people who use AI to exaggerate their abilities whether on paper or during interviews. Please don't waste our time.
Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future need for visa sponsorship.
