Job Description:
About Etched Etched is building the world’s first AI inference
system purpose-built for transformers - delivering over 10x higher
performance and dramatically lower cost and latency than a B200.
With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible
with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely
deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents. Backed by
hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading
engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the
fastest growing industry in history. Job Summary Co-Develop
cutting-edge software optimized across hardware and software
driving the full potential of very large transformer models. Solve
challenging problems across the full stack, from low-level drivers
and APIs to high-level applications and frameworks. Contribute to
the development of AI solutions that will revolutionize industries
like natural language processing, chain of reasoning automation,
generative media. You may be a good fit if you have Bachelor's
degree or equivalent practical experience. Experience in software
development, and with data structures/algorithms. Experience
developing and testing software on launching products. Experience
with firmware design, implementation, and troubleshooting.
Experience with embedded architectures, IO technologies (I2C, SPI,
PCIe, DRAM etc.), as well as concepts like scalability, fault
tolerance, and consistency. Strong candidates may also have
experience with (Nice-to-have qualifications) Master’s degree
Computer Science, or a related technical field. Experience
resolving customer-related issues. Experience solving ambiguous
problems. Excellent verbal and written communication skills.

(Santana Row) Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental
health, and more Daily lunch dinner in our office How we’re
different Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson . We think most of
the progress in the AI field has come from using more FLOPs to
train and run models, and the best way to get more FLOPs is to
build model-specific hardware. Larger and larger training runs
encourage companies to consolidate around fewer model
architectures, which creates a market for single-model ASICs. We
are a fully in-person team in San Jose (Santana Row), and greatly
value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between
engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff
to contribute to both as needed.
