Key skills for this role
As our Technical Program Manager, Infrastructure you will own end-to-end program delivery across the org — driving alignment between internal teams, managing external vendor relationships, and ensuring that every dependency, risk, and milestone is visible to the people who need to act on it. You'll establish the KPIs and operational cadences that keep programs on track, and continuously refine our processes to make the entire Infrastructure organization faster and more effective.
You'll be the connective tissue between engineering and leadership — translating technical complexity into clear status, surfacing risks before they become blockers, and facilitating resolution of the cross-disciplinary issues that emerge at the intersection of ASIC design, hardware platforms, and software integration. When priorities shift, you don't just adapt — you help the organization navigate the shift without losing momentum.
This role demands deep technical fluency alongside exceptional organizational and communication skills. You're not just tracking tasks — you're building the program management foundation that lets world-class engineers move at the pace Etched needs to win.
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.

8-10+ years of experience in technical program management, ideally in hardware, semiconductor, or AI technology environments.
A PMP certification with a demonstrated track record of delivering complex, cross-functional projects.
Strong technical knowledge in ASIC design, hardware platforms, and software integration.
Excellent organizational, communication, and leadership skills that influence without authority.
A proactive approach to identifying risks and opportunities for process improvement.
Experience using program management tools and methodologies such as Google Workspace and JIRA.
A bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline (advanced degree preferred).
Managing and nurturing external vendor and supplier relationships.
Implementing best practices in program delivery to drive operational performance improvements.
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 and Taipei, 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.
Private semiconductor startup building AI inference chips, racks, and software for frontier-model customers.
