About the role

You will focus on the semiconductor vertical to deploy next-generation AI capabilities.
You will also share field insights with Product and Research to guide roadmap and priorities.
Additional measures of success include delivery reliability (milestones hit, low reopen/churn), operating leverage (patterns reused across deployments), judgment under pressure, and product impact (field signal that shifts roadmaps/architectures).

Own the technical delivery plan for multiple interdependent work streams, translating customer objectives into a roadmap with milestones, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
Partner with Product and Research so platform components and research work streams land in time to support deployment goals.
Own value cases and ROI. Set impact hypotheses, baselines, and KPIs; run pre-/post-deployment measurement and report to exec sponsors.
Have deep expertise in Semiconductor workflows, including RTL design, verification, EDA tooling, and physical implementation.

OpenAI's Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) team turns research breakthroughs into production-grade systems.
We embed deeply with customers to solve high-leverage problems and act as the delivery engine for our most complex large-scale engagements.
We move quickly from prototype to production and surface reusable patterns that shape our platform.
We operate at the intersection of deployment and development - working closely with OpenAI Research, Product and Partnerships.
As a Technical Deployment Lead (TDL), you will define how OpenAI delivers complex systems to Semiconductor customers.
Help define how OpenAI engages Semiconductor customers.
