Job Description:
Building cutting-edge model-specific ASICs requires crafting custom infrastructure and toolchains to support ultra-fast, reliable, and scalable development across the stack - from simulation to silicon. We build this infrastructure as software - and we engineer it with the same best practices we apply to our products. We use the same rigor, design discipline, and quality standards and testing as we do to our ASIC, software, and platform. You will lead the development and adoption of next-generation infrastructure tooling, enabling Etched ASIC, Software, and Platform engineers to iterate faster, build more reliably, and push the boundaries of AI performance. This includes building and scaling our hybrid high-performance compute (HPC) cluster, optimized for massively parallel CI, EDA workflows, Emulation, and hardware-aware job execution. You’ll also architect and implement a state-of-the-art observability stack with LLM integration and a strong emphasis on streaming health and performance telemetry, log aggregation, distributed tracing, insight generation, synthetic testing, and smart alerting - across CI pipelines, simulation clusters, and service endpoints. This role demands a strong software engineering mindset, quality instincts, and deep understanding of systems. It’s not just about writing scripts - it’s about writing code that builds and manages infrastructure with precision, repeatability, and intent.
