About the role

We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.

Own and manage Etched's front-end CAD environment including build flows, tool-specific flows and tool installation and configuration.
Experience developing and maintaining front-end IC design flows, including scripting and EDA tool configuration.
Ability to automate and optimize CAD workflows for chip design verification.
Working directly with Synopsys and Cadence R&D, sales and field support teams.
Relocation support for those moving to Cupertino
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.

Proficiency with (at least some) key verification tools: RTL simulation, static checks (lint/CDC/RDC), formal tools and low power tools.
You may be a good fit if you have

Configure and manage project execution dashboard.
A can-do attitude and velocity of going from a problem sighting to a deployable solution.
Setting up and maintaining front-end IC design flows.

Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with 100% of premium covered
(Bonus) Hands-on RTL design experience, including ownership of a design block to validate CAD methodologies.
