About the role

And we're bringing this technology to market in months, not years.
This role will provide opportunities to ramp on relevant ML concepts on the job.

Develop and own SoC functional models from architecture to deployment, including integration with infrastructure, thorough testing, and debugging.
Collaborate closely with architecture, RTL design, design verification, emulation, and software teams to ensure alignment and performance.
Innovate tooling and infrastructure to enhance usability and effectiveness for internal and external partners.
Optimize model and infrastructure performance, ensuring scalability for real-world AI workloads.
Create software that is well-documented, maintainable, and reusable, ensuring longevity and ease of future development.
Our ASIC systems deliver orders of magnitude higher performance than conventional AI chips.
Etched is actively developing Sohu, an ASIC exclusively for transformers, which will enable products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep chain-of-thought reasoning.
Sohu is hard-coded for individual model architectures and only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200.

Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
5 years of experience in software development with data structures/algorithms.
5 years of experience developing and testing software models/simulations of shipping ASICs.
3 years of experience modeling SoC relevant technologies (DRAM, HBM, I2C, SPI, PCIe, etc.).

Master's or PhD degree Computer Science, or a related technical field.
Experience solving ambiguous problems.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
If you're a talented software engineer who's excited to shape the future of AI, we encourage you to apply!

High interest in learning transformer architecture, developing insight into AI hardware/software co-design.
Machine learning experience is not required.

Etched was founded on the belief that new hardware will be needed to run human- and superhuman-level artificial intelligence.
