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.
Job Summary
Etched is building a new category of AI hardware: frontier inference clusters. To bring them up at the pace this market demands, we build and integrate our own server racks in-house, and that work is growing fast as we move from early builds into NPI and production.
As a Build Engineer, you'll own our internal builds end to end. Think of the role as an operations program manager for internal builds who is also a hands-on engineer: you'll plan each build, get the parts, tools, and people in place, run it on the floor, and fix whatever slows it down. You'll work closely with our mechanical, electrical, thermal, test, inventory, and lab operations teams, and the processes you set up will become how Etched builds hardware as volume ramps.
