Key skills for this role
Etched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures. Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower 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 chain-of-thought reasoning.
We are seeking a highly motivated Manufacturing Test and Production Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will bridge the gap between hardware, software, and production, ensuring seamless testing and production line readiness for our advanced AI systems. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including ASIC design and software engineering, to build and optimize test and production processes that drive high yield, quality, and throughput.
Collaborate with ASIC design and software teams to design and implement test stations for system-level testing and full server burn-in testing at the production line
Collaborate with the software team to develop diagnostic tests necessary for comprehensive product functional testing
Develop detailed test plans to ensure efficient and thorough production line flow, aligned with product requirements
Collaborate with production engineers at Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to architect and design end-to-end production line flow, including test coverage and throughput models, to meet capacity planning needs
Optimize test time, yield, and coverage to achieve ideal ramp conditions, ensuring efficient scaling to meet production demands
Analyze test data to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, driving continuous improvements to enhance production line performance

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
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 Cupertino, 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.
