Job Summary

We are hiring a Core Software Engineer to design and scale high-performance, distributed systems for Etched’s AI hardware pipelines. You’ll build infrastructure for hybrid superclusters, develop fault-tolerant CI for hardware, and create developer-friendly tools that accelerate silicon development, all while optimizing performance and reliability across on-prem and cloud resources.

Location: San Jose

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Software Engineering

Key Responsibilities

•Build Reliable, High-Performance Systems for Engineering at Scale: Design the core frameworks and workflows that enable Etched’s engineers to iterate faster than anyone else in hardware, orchestrating thousands of machines to simulate, verify, and build chips with high performance and correctness.
•Engineer World-Class Continuous Integration for Hardware: Invent and implement fault-tolerant, high-throughput CI pipelines for backend – simulation, synthesis, CDC, and more, surface regressions, and automate silicon development.
•Scale Bare-Metal Superclusters and Hybrid Infrastructure: Work hands-on with on-prem systems to design compute infrastructure for AI chip development, considering CPU/memory topology and EDA workloads.
•Design High-Quality Tools That Engineers Love Using: Build new interfaces, dev workflows, and execution engines to modernize EDA workflows and improve developer productivity.
•Representative projects: automate CI systems, mass parallel workload scheduling, GPU-backed dev environments, workload migration, and fault simulation.

Pay and Benefits

Salary: USD 150,000 - 275,000 annually

Equity and Bonus:Equity

Perks:MedicalDentalVisionHousing SubsidyRelocationMeal Allowance

Key Requirements
