About Etched

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

As AI models become larger, more capable, and more widely deployed, the economics of compute increasingly determine what products can be built, how they are priced, and how quickly they can scale.

What they're looking for

  • Exceptional financial modeling skills. You can build sophisticated operating models from the ground up and genuinely enjoy doing it
  • Experience with product cost, manufacturing, inventory, supply planning, or hardware unit economics
  • Ability to take an ambiguous question, structure the analysis, develop a point of view, and independently drive it through to a decision
  • Strong analytical skills and comfort working with large, messy datasets to identify the few insights that actually matter
  • The judgment and conviction to make recommendations with imperfect information, paired with the willingness to update your view as new information emerges
