Advantest America is hiring: Machine Learning Engineer in San Jose

Advantest is seeking a motivated Junior Machine Learning Engineer to support the development of data-driven and ML-powered solutions for semiconductor R&D, test, and operations teams. In this role, you'll contribute to building predictive models, conducting statistical analyses, and assisting in the development of light-to-moderate data pipelines that help transform complex semiconductor datasets into actionable insights.

This position is ideal for a recent graduate with strong foundational ML skills who is eager to learn, collaborate, and grow in a fast-paced, technically rich environment. You'll work alongside experienced engineers, data scientists, and domain experts while gaining hands‑on experience across the ML lifecycle—from data preparation to model deployment.

Key Responsibilities

Machine Learning & Advanced Analytics

• Develop and evaluate ML models (e.g., classification, anomaly detection, regression, time‑series analysis).


• Perform feature engineering and exploratory data analysis on semiconductor datasets.


• Contribute to model deployment workflows in collaboration with ML data scientists, following MLOps best practices.


• Assist in implementing model monitoring, retraining workflows, and documentation.


• Experiment with modern analytics techniques, including LLM-based or generative AI methods, under guidance from senior team members.

Data Engineering & Pipeline Support

• Help build and maintain ETL/ELT workflows that prepare data for analysis and modeling.


• Support data quality checks, versioning, and data validation tasks.


• Work with cloud and on‑prem tools to help ensure data accessibility for ML applications.

CrossFunctional Collaboration

• Work with semiconductor engineers and data scientists to translate domain challenges into analytical tasks.


• Support the creation of dashboards, reports, and visualizations that communicate insights clearly.


• Learn and apply semiconductor‑specific data concepts with the support of senior mentors.
