Job description
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: You may be a good fit if you have Strong candidates may also have experience - 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. - 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. - Ability to auto...
