Get Access To All JobsAbout 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 chain-of-thought reasoning.
EE Hardware System Engineer
Etched is looking for exceptional hardware system engineers to join our team. The candidate will be responsible for schematic design for our accelerator module, and will help us pave the way for manufacturing scale.
Representative Projects
- Lead schematic design of the mezzanine card and base board for Etched’s accelerator systems
- Work with Signal Integrity, PCB, and Mechanical Engineering to solve system level design problems
- Collaborate with ODMs/OEMs on system requirements, including bringup and validation plans
- Understand datacenter customer requirements and ensure our servers meet them
- Bring up of system base board and mezzanine card
- Create and manage PCBA documentation including BOMs and special assembly processes
- Define test plans and test equipment for bring-up and manufacturing
Requirements
- 5-10 years of experience in complex server/switch system design and development
- Extensive experience on 100G Ethernet, PCIe Gen5, I2C, SPI, UART interfaces
- Familiar with modern AI/datacenter system architecture
- Proven track record of designing systems alongside silicon
- Deep understanding of datacenter needs, especially with respect to high power (>10 kW) AI servers
- Passionate about modern AIs like ChatGPT, and willing to learn about them on the job
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
How We’re Different
Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We think most of the progress in the AI field has come from using more FLOPs to train and run models, and the best way to get more FLOPs is to build model-specific hardware. Larger and larger training runs encourage companies to consolidate around fewer model architectures, which creates a market for single-model ASICs. We are a fully in-person team in West San Jose, and greatly value engineering skills. We do not have boundaries between engineering and research, and we expect all of our technical staff to contribute to both as needed.
Benefits
- Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage
- Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office
- Daily lunch and dinner in our office
- Relocation support for those moving to West San Jose
Compensation Range
- $150,000 - $275,000

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Electrical Engineer Jobs at Etched Jobs
Tailor your portfolio to ASIC design
Etched's chip architecture work means interviewers will probe your experience with custom silicon, PCB layout, and signal integrity. Organize your portfolio around tape-out experience or high-speed board design before you apply.
Confirm H-1B eligibility before your interview
USCIS requires your Electrical Engineering role to qualify as a specialty occupation tied to a relevant degree. Review your credentials against the DOL's prevailing wage database so you can speak confidently to your qualifications if it comes up.
Target roles that align with your degree field
H-1B approval depends on a direct connection between your degree and the specific role. For hardware roles at a semiconductor company, a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related discipline strengthens your petition significantly.
Ask about LCA timing during the offer stage
Before your employer files the H-1B petition, the DOL must certify a Labor Condition Application. Ask your recruiter where Etched is in that process so you can map your start date accurately and avoid gaps in work authorization.
Use Migrate Mate to find open Electrical Engineer roles
Etched's hardware roles don't always surface on general job boards. Browse Migrate Mate to filter specifically for Electrical Engineer positions at companies with verified H-1B sponsorship history so you're targeting roles where sponsorship is confirmed.
Build evidence of specialized hardware expertise
Collect documentation of your contributions to chip design, PCB validation, or power delivery systems before interviews start. Concrete project records and measurable outcomes strengthen both your candidacy and any future visa petition supporting your role.

Find Electrical Engineer at Etched JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Etched sponsor H-1B visas for Electrical Engineers?
Yes, Etched sponsors H-1B visas for Electrical Engineers. The company operates in semiconductor and AI hardware, a field where specialized international talent is actively recruited. If you receive an offer, Etched's hiring process includes H-1B petition filing, which requires your role to qualify as a specialty occupation under USCIS standards.
How do I apply for Electrical Engineer jobs at Etched?
You can find Electrical Engineer openings at Etched through Migrate Mate, which lists roles at companies with confirmed H-1B sponsorship history. When applying, tailor your resume to hardware-specific skills such as PCB design, ASIC development, or signal integrity analysis, since Etched's work is focused on custom AI inference chips.
Which visa types are commonly used for Electrical Engineer roles at Etched?
H-1B is the primary work visa for Electrical Engineers at Etched. This category suits the role well because semiconductor engineering positions typically satisfy USCIS's specialty occupation requirement, which calls for a theoretical and practical application of highly specialized knowledge in a relevant technical field like Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
What qualifications are expected for Electrical Engineer positions at Etched?
Etched's work centers on custom AI inference chip architecture, so relevant experience in ASIC design, PCB layout, power delivery, or high-speed digital systems is expected. A bachelor's or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related discipline is typically required, both to meet Etched's technical bar and to support a successful H-1B petition.
How do I plan my timeline if Etched is sponsoring my H-1B?
H-1B petitions are subject to an annual cap with a lottery that opens each April for an October 1 start date. If you're not currently in H-1B status, factor in the full cap-subject cycle when negotiating your start date. The DOL must also certify a Labor Condition Application before your petition can be filed, which typically adds several weeks to the process.
