About the job
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 & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents.
Key responsibilities
- Own and manage Etched’s front-end CAD environment including build flows, tool-specific flows and tool installation and configuration.
- Evaluate, deploy, and sustain front-end tools including but not limited to: RTL simulator, low power checker, static RTL checkers such as Lint, and CDC/RDC/SDC/DFT, and formal verification (both property and equivalence) checkers.
- Configure and manage project execution dashboard.
You may be a good fit if you have
- Experience developing and maintaining front-end IC design flows, including scripting and EDA tool configuration.
- Proficiency with (at least some) key verification tools: RTL simulation, static checks (lint/CDC/RDC), formal tools and low power tools.
