Full job description
About Etched Etched is building hardware for frontier intelligence. We co-design chips, racks, software, and manufacturing to deliver best-in-class throughput and latency across both prefill and decode workloads. Our first products are heavily focused on inference. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history. Job Summary We're looking for a hands-on Electrical Engineering Technician to support our hardware development and validation efforts. In this role, you'll own the execution of electrical test procedures, maintain rigorous documentation standards, and keep our lab environments running smoothly across multiple concurrent projects. You'll work closely with hardware engineers to ensure data integrity and help us move fast without cutting corners. Key Responsibilities
- Set up, calibrate, and operate electrical test equipment — including oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, and signal analyzers — in accordance with established test procedures
- Collect, record, and validate electrical measurement data, maintaining accurate and traceable documentation for analysis and quality assurance
- Monitor live test runs and equipment performance, identifying anomalies and troubleshooting issues to maintain test integrity and minimize downtime
- Prepare test benches, fixtures, and lab environments to support scheduled hardware experiments across multiple concurrent projects
- Organize and maintain lab logs, test databases, and results reports, communicating findings clearly to hardware engineers and project teams
- Enforce lab safety procedures and compliance standards while managing equipment maintenance, inventory, and calibration schedules Must-Have Qualifications
- Hands-on experience executing electrical test procedures, including bench setup, instrument calibration, and operation of standard EE lab equipment
- Strong data collection and documentation habits — accurate, traceable measurement records are second nature to you
- Ability to monitor live electrical tests, catch signal irregularities or out-of-spec behavior early, and troubleshoot quickly to minimize downtime
- Experience preparing test benches and hardware fixtures across multiple concurrent projects
- Comfort organizing and maintaining lab logs, databases, and test reports for a cross-functional engineering audience Nice-to-Have Qualifications
- Familiarity with lab safety compliance and managing EE equipment maintenance, inventory, and calibration schedules
- Exposure to PCB bring-up, power rail validation, or digital/analog signal characterization
- Experience with scripted test automation (Python, LabVIEW, or similar) Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
- $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
- Housing subsidy of $2,500 per month for those living within walking distance of the office
- Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
- Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more
- Daily lunch and dinner in our office
- Unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification How we’re different Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson http://www.incompleteideas.net/IncIdeas/BitterLesson.html. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors. We are a fully in-person team in San Jose and Taipei, 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.
