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.
- This role will connect product cost, manufacturing, supply, pricing, and margin into a single view of the business, helping Etched make the highest-leverage decisions across our product roadmap.
- This is a high-ownership role for someone who genuinely loves to model and is energized by hard, ambiguous questions.
Responsibilities
- Own product economics end to end. Build and maintain the financial models connecting semiconductor and system costs, manufacturing yields, supply commitments, customer demand, pricing, and gross margin.
- Drive pricing and monetization strategy. Partner with Product and go-to-market teams to evaluate pricing, packaging, customer economics, and commercial structures across Etched's product portfolio.
- Own the financial lens on the product roadmap. Build business cases for new products and major roadmap investments, including opportunity sizing, cost structure, expected margins, capital requirements, and returns.
- Partner deeply with manufacturing and supply chain. Model wafer, packaging, component, inventory, supply, and purchase commitments across quarterly and multi-year forecasts, helping determine manufacturing volumes and timing.
- Understand the drivers of product cost. Develop performance measures for major cost drivers, including yields, manufacturing volumes, supplier economics, new product ramps, and supply agreements, and identify opportunities to improve product margins.
- Translate AI infrastructure economics into financial decisions. Develop a detailed understanding of how performance, power, system architecture, and total cost of ownership translate into customer value and Etched's pricing and margin opportunities.
- Own inventory and supply economics. Analyze inventory levels, purchase commitments, supply availability, and demand scenarios to help Etched balance growth, customer commitments, and working capital.
- Build the financial operating system for the product. Establish dashboards, forecasting processes, and metrics that give leadership a clear view of product costs, supply, pricing, margins, inventory, and performance.
- Drive executive decision-making. Turn complex product, manufacturing, and financial data into concise, opinionated recommendations for leadership.
- Partner with Finance counterparts on forecasting, planning, monthly and quarterly close processes, and company-wide financial strategy.
Requirements
- Significant experience in finance, strategy, or another analytically rigorous role, with demonstrated ownership of complex financial or operational decisions.
- Experience with product cost, manufacturing, inventory, supply planning, or hardware unit economics.
