Junior Backend Engineer

🌟SixSense | Revolutionizing Semiconductor Manufacturing with AI

SixSense was founded in 2018 by Akanksha Jagwani (IIT) and Avni Agrawal (NIT), united by a bold vision: to bring the power of AI to industries long left behind by the digital revolution.

🚀 The Road Less Travelled: Our Mission at SixSense

We’re a team of engineers and dreamers who bet on semiconductors, the industry powering the AI revolution yet still largely untouched by it. While most chased software markets, we set out to bring AI into fabs, the invisible engines behind everything from smartphones to AI.

Semiconductors power the world’s most critical technologies, and the industry is undergoing its biggest transformation in decades. At SixSense, you’ll work with top-tier manufacturers worldwide, solving real production problems at massive scale.

Joining us isn’t just another job; it’s a chance to be part of the first generation of engineers building the intelligence layer for the future of semiconductor manufacturing.

🔧 What We Do:

Every smartphone, car, and AI model runs on tiny chips made in complex fabs, where even small errors can cost millions. SixSense uses AI to catch problems early, and our no-code platform lets fab engineers detect, trace, and prevent issues without being AI experts.

✅ Spot defects early – flag tiny issues before they snowball into scrap losses.

✅ Find the root cause – trace failures to the exact machine or process for fast fixes.

✅ Control problems at the source – catch anomalies before they cause major losses.

✅ Predict future risks – forecast failures and yield drops to enable proactive action.

💼 Trusted by Leading Investors

Backed by Peak XV’s Surge, Alpha Intelligence Capital, FEBE, and Beenext, we’ve raised $12M in total, including an $8.5M Series A, and proudly partner with trailblazers like GlobalFoundries.
