Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs

Own the full employee lifecycle, including onboarding, transfers, leaves, offboarding, benefits, payroll inputs, compliance, and HRIS administration. Advise employees and managers on policies, pay, performance, and organizational changes. Lead performance, engagement, recognition, and learning programs while partnering with Finance, Legal, brokers, and vendors. Improve People systems, automate processes, maintain accurate records, and support compensation, equity, relocation, and housing programs.

Build and deploy production-level solutions for Etched’s critical engineering challenges. Projects may include internal hardware tools, manufacturing execution systems, or agentic AI systems for R&D. The intern will own a project from scoping through production, working across full-stack engineering, infrastructure, and product development in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

Deploy, validate, and debug accelerator-based systems in large-scale datacenters. Diagnose issues across hardware, firmware, drivers, Linux, and networking; coordinate updates; perform root-cause analysis; build diagnostics and monitoring; create deployment documentation; and improve scalable deployment processes with customers and cross-functional engineering teams.

Own end-to-end test strategy and systems for AI hardware, covering silicon, firmware, boards, servers, racks, validation, and production. Design scalable test frameworks, regression gates, diagnostics, and pass/fail criteria; review domain test plans; lead cross-functional failure triage and root-cause analysis; improve screening and production tests. Partner with test infrastructure and manufacturing teams, including international travel to Taiwan.

Lead deployment, installation, bring-up, validation, and customer acceptance of accelerator-based datacenter systems. Diagnose hardware, firmware, Linux, driver, and networking issues; perform root-cause analysis; develop deployment tooling and diagnostics; and coordinate firmware updates and hotfixes. Collaborate with engineering and sustaining teams to improve reliability and minimize downtime. The role requires up to 30% domestic and international travel.

Build software-defined infrastructure for hybrid HPC clusters supporting ASIC simulation, synthesis, emulation, and CI. Design orchestration layers, infrastructure control planes, workload migration systems, and large-scale observability platforms with telemetry, tracing, alerting, synthetic testing, and fault injection. The role requires production-grade systems programming, infrastructure as code, cloud and bare-metal expertise, and the ability to debug complex hardware-software environments while mentoring engineers.

Lead PCBA design-for-manufacturing reviews from early design through production release. Identify and close manufacturability risks, establish DFM rules and documentation, support prototype and NPI builds, improve yield and cost, and enhance testability and inspection coverage. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, test, manufacturing, and contract manufacturing teams. Apply AI and automation to technical reporting, issue tracking, documentation, and engineering data analysis.

Train and post-train frontier models for engineering tasks, owning the post-training stack end to end. Build reinforcement-learning environments and verifiable reward systems with ASIC, kernel, and supercomputing engineers; develop custom data mixes, benchmarks, and specialized production models. Optimize RL systems for speed and cost while validating rollouts and performance metrics. The role is fully in person in San Jose.

Design, develop, maintain, and test simulations for custom AI inference hardware. Collaborate on hardware-software co-design, influence architecture, validate hardware documentation, build debugging tools, and support software development on simulated chips. Work includes integrating simulated chips and hosts, enabling kernel driver testing, validating multi-chip scaling, and debugging early software deliverables.

Designs and develops high-power data center chassis and enclosures from concept through production. Responsibilities include mechanical design, collaboration with internal teams and JDM partners, tooling development, manufacturability optimization, shock and vibration compliance, cooling requirements, and production readiness. The role requires translating industrial design concepts into durable, cost-effective mechanical solutions.
