Co-designed chips, racks, and software to push the pareto frontier to best-in-class throughput and interactivity. Backed by Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia.
About the role
We are using AI to build and ship AI hardware. Etched’s production ramp requires thousands of interdependent, chained decisions that involve product configurations, material availability, production capacity, capital commitments, complex logistics, field deployments, customer commitments, and more. You will embed with Platform, Production, Supply Chain, Finance, and manufacturing partners to build the agentic systems that make those decisions faster and better.
What they're looking for
- A track record of solving hard problems across stacks and domains. You enjoy being dropped into unfamiliar territory and figuring it out
- Comfort with Python and code: you can read it, modify it, debug it, and direct AI to write it well. We do not care whether you write code from scratch. We care whether you ship things that work
- Fluency using AI to learn and ramp on new problems, agentic coding tools, deep research, and frontier models are how you work, not an add-on
- Hands-on experience building and shipping LLM-based agents or AI tooling that real users depend on (beyond just calling an AP - context engineering, tool integration, orchestration, failure analysis)
- An eval-driven mindset: you measure whether AI systems actually work before scaling them
- High agency and comfort with ambiguity. You can find the problem, not just solve the stated one
More about this role
Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference . 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.

You will own the development of agentic systems that loop signal to execution: understanding what Etched needs to manufacture and deliver; modelling production plans and scenarios; triaging changes and the unexpected; capturing decisions in the systems we execute through - and designing agents that...
