Job Description
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.
PCB Hardware Validation Engineer
We are seeking an experienced and motivated PCB Hardware Validation Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will focus on validating the functionality of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and ensuring adequate power margins across all interfaces. You will play a critical role in collecting and analyzing data in the lab to validate hardware performance, support post-silicon characterization, and ensure robust operation across multiple subsystems, including PCIe and I2C.
Representative Projects:
Perform PCB function verification to ensure all functions meet design specifications, validating critical parameters such as power and signal integrity margins
Collect and analyze lab data to verify margins for power delivery networks, signal integrity, and overall system robustness
Collaborate on post-silicon validation efforts, identifying key performance metrics, and conducting PVT, power, and thermal characterization to ensure alignment with design targets
Evaluate PCI-E performance and ensure adequate margins for reliable operation, including signal integrity (SI), EOM, and bit error rate (BER)
Identify critical bugs and drive root cause analysis to resolution, collaborating with cross-functional teams as needed
Design and execute DOE experiments to resolve hardware issues and optimize system performance
Validate power sequencing, ensure critical microcontroller functions are operating correctly, and conduct power efficiency, noise, and transient analysis
Perform in-depth characterization of I2C bus systems to ensure compliance with design specifications
Maintain and track critical hardware PCB issues, document findings, and ensure effective communication with relevant stakeholders
Collaborate closely with design, firmware, and system engineering teams to ensure end-to-end hardware quality
You maybe a good fit if you have
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
Proven experience in hardware validation, lab testing, and PCB-level debugging
Strong understanding of power and signal integrity principles, including measurement and analysis techniques
Familiarity with PCI-E, I2C, and other relevant hardware interfaces and protocols
Experience with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies
Hands-on experience in debugging hardware issues and conducting root cause analysis
Knowledge of power sequencing and microcontroller (uC) systems
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, scripting languages (e.g. Python, Matlab)
Excellent communication and teamwork abilities
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
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 West San Jose, 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.
Benefits:
Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage
Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office
Daily lunch and dinner in our office
Relocation support for those moving to West San Jose
Compensation Range
$150,000 - $275,000
