About the role

Lattice Overview There is energy here…energy you can feel crackling at any of our international locations.
Our focus is on R&D, product innovation, and customer service, and to that focus, we bring total commitment and a keenly sharp competitive personality.
Our global workforce, some 800 strong, shares a total commitment to customer success and an unbending will to win.

Design multi ‑agent workflows with an orchestrator, specialized agents, and shared memory.
Implement strict schema ‑bound LLM calls (JSON, XML, structured tool commands).
Design prompt templates, adapters, LoRA modules, and controlled ‑generation methods.
Build document ingestion pipelines with chunking, metadata tagging, and embeddings.
Build domain ‑aware RAG systems with citation ‑based referencing.
Develop multi layer guardrails using schema validation, rule based checks, and policy engines.
Implement self critique, repair loops, and fallback strategies for model outputs.
Build model serving pipelines (vLLM/TGI/Triton), caching, batching, and streaming.
Implement logging, tracing, observability, and offline evaluation pipelines.
Lattice is an international, service-driven developer of innovative low cost, low power programmable design solutions.

Define agent interfaces, policies, and error ‑handling/repair strategies.

Experience with LLM fine ‑tuning (LoRA/QLoRA), distillation, and prompt engineering.
Strong understanding of LLM internal architecture (transformers, attention, tokenization).
Expertise in Python, PyTorch, and modern AI frameworks (HuggingFace, vLLM, LangChain).
Experience designing structured model interactions (JSON schema, function ‑calling, tool ‑use).
Experience with embedded, hardware, or FPGA workflows-but not mandatory.
