About Etched
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.
Firmware Engineer, Machine Learning Accelerator
We are looking for a Firmware Engineer with experience with machine learning accelerators. The ideal candidate will be able to contribute to firmware design, implementation, and performance optimization, as well as debug both firmware and hardware in simulation, emulation, and silicon environments.
Representative projects:
You may be a good fit if you have:
Strong candidates may also have experience with:
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 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.
