Job Title: Field Application AI Engineer - AI Semiconductor Software

Location: Taiwan

About SixSense & The Role

Join the Revolution in Semiconductor Manufacturing

At SixSense AI, we aren’t just evolving the semiconductor industry—we are redefining the future of manufacturing. Our state-of-the-art AI software for visual defect classification and deviation detection is transforming how fabs operate, driving significant improvements in yield and product quality while optimizing operational costs.

We are seeking a Field Application AI Engineer with deep technical acumen and industry passion to lead the adoption of our AI solutions. This is a unique, AI-first pre-sales and post-sales role where you will serve as the primary technical face of SixSense. You will be the essential "bridge" between our cutting-edge technology and the complex, real-world requirements of global semiconductor manufacturers.

Your Impact across the Customer Journey:

Hybrid scope: ~60% pre-sales (technical discovery, demos, PoCs/PoVs) and ~40% post-sales (production launch, enablement/training, and technical escalations)

• Pre-Sales Leadership: You will spearhead technical discovery and lead Proof-of-Concepts (PoCs) and Proof-of-Values (PoVs) to demonstrate exactly how our AI solves a client’s specific manufacturing challenges.
• Production Launch: Post-sales, you will empower customer teams through expert training, ensuring a seamless transition as they launch and scale AI models in a live production environment.
• Ongoing Technical Ownership: You will own the long-term success of the deployment, managing post-delivery debugging and acting as the lead for escalations regarding both software and model behavior.

We are looking for a technical rockstar—someone who pairs deep semiconductor application knowledge with a foundational understanding of system integration. You are a passionate communicator who thrives on building high-stakes relationships and is driven to make a tangible impact at the intersection of AI and semiconductor manufacturing.

By joining SixSense, you will work alongside the brightest minds in the industry to bring the power of AI to the world's most advanced semiconductor fabs.

Here’s what you’ll do:

1. Semiconductor Manufacturing & Application Expertise

Your deep understanding of the fab and OSAT environment is what makes our solution credible and effective.

• Domain Authority: Apply your knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing (front-end or back-end) to contextualize AI results across different devices, layers, and inspection stages.
• Process Integration: Map AI capabilities to tangible manufacturing value, such as yield improvement, quality risk reduction, and cycle time optimization.
• Integration Scoping: Partner with clients to design infrastructure and integration strategies that allow SixSense software to communicate seamlessly with existing factory systems.
• Market Insights: Stay ahead of industry trends and evolving inspection technologies to ensure our solutions remain at the forefront of semiconductor innovation.

2. Sales, Communication & Interpersonal Excellence

We are looking for a "Technical Rockstar" who can build trust and influence at every level of a customer organization.

• Strategic Relationship Building: Position yourself as a trusted long-term partner rather than just a vendor, deeply understanding customer pain points and manufacturing constraints.
• Connecting AI to Value: Lead technical discovery discussions to clearly define problem statements and ensure the AI solution is directly linked to the customer's business goals.
• Product demos: Lead high-stakes live demos tailored to the customer’s process flow, devices, and inspection stages—showing “how it works” and “why it matters.”
• PoV ownership (end-to-end): Design and run PoVs/PoCs: align scope, define KPIs, request/validate datasets, execute evaluations on real customer data, and drive weekly technical check-ins.
• Decision-ready readouts: Present PoV results with clear metrics + business impact (yield, quality risk, cycle time, manpower), and recommend the next step (production launch plan, integration plan, or gaps to close)
• Persuasive Narratives: Distill complex technical topics into clear, high-impact narratives for both executive decision-makers and deep-dive technical engineers.
• Multilingual Fluency: Lead technical discussions, presentations, and training sessions fluently in both Mandarin and English.

3. AI Fundamentals & Continuous Learning

While you do not need to be an AI developer, you must understand the "logic" of AI in image classification and be eager to master our platform.

• Fundamental Understanding: Grasp the basic mechanics of image classification, computer vision, and how data quality affects outcomes.
• Performance Metrics: Understand and communicate essential AI metrics, including accuracy, confidence levels, false positives/negatives, and model stability.
• PoV → production handoff: Convert PoV learnings into a production launch checklist (data pipeline readiness, model monitoring, retraining triggers, user training, escalation loop)
• Operational AI: Gain the expertise to manage model behavior in a production environment, including identifying model drift and knowing when retraining is required.
• Growth Mindset: Demonstrate a strong interest in staying ahead of AI advancements and a willingness to be trained on the deep technical nuances of the SixSense AI platform.

Here's what you'll bring:

1. A profound grasp of AI and machine learning technologies, particularly with an emphasis on image recognition and classification.
2. Demonstrated experience in sales or pre-sales roles, with a strong preference for experience within the semiconductor manufacturing operations applications.
3. Exemplary communication skills, underpinned by an ability to distill complex technical concepts into accessible and persuasive narratives.
4. Proficiency in both Mandarin and English to facilitate seamless communication with clients and internal teams.
5. A self-driven, detail-oriented, and results-centric approach to sales endeavors.
6. Having experience in working clients to design and develop various types of infrastructure options and integration solutions is a bonus

Qualifications

• Industry Experience: 3-5+ years of experience in the semiconductor industry, ideally in a customer-facing technical role (Field Application, Technical Sales, or Process Engineering).
• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Communication: Exceptional presentation and interpersonal skills. Ability to navigate complex customer organizations and handle escalations with a solution-oriented mindset.
• Tech Savvy: Familiarity with manufacturing software environments and a foundational interest in how AI is changing the industry.
• Travel: Willingness to travel to customer sites across Taiwan and occasionally internationally as required.
