Production Intern at Etched

Production InternLocation: San Jose CA Team: ProductionAbout EtchedEtched is building the worlds first AI inference system purpose-built for transformers - delivering over 10x higher performance and dramatically lower cost and 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. 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.As Etched scales global deployments of our transformer inference systems we are seeking Production interns to work on sourcing and supply chain for L11 hardware and work on day-to-day execution across our contract manufacturers.You will aid in Etcheds supply chain process ensuring we can scale production rapidly efficiently and reliably. This role will interact with purchase orders for large-scale orders work cross-functionally to understand needs across hardware engineering and manufacturing operations and provide mentorship with industry leaders.You may be a good fit if you haveProgress towards a Bachelors or Masters degree in Engineering Supply Chain or related field.Experience working cross-functionally with engineering operations and program management teamsExcellent communication analytical and leadership skillsStrong candidates may also have experience withSupply chain sourcing or commodity management for datacenter networking or compute hardwareStrong understanding of switches PDUs/CDUs racks cabling and datacenter infrastructureCost modeling should-cost analysis and total cost of ownership evaluationData center infrastructure design thermal and power distribution systemsWorking in a fast-paced hardware startup environmentFamiliarity with semiconductor or AI hardware supply chains is highly desirableWe encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.Program Details:12-week paid internship (June - August 2026)Generous housing support for those relocatingDaily lunch and dinner in our officeBased at our office in San Jose CADirect mentorship from industry leaders and world-class engineersOpportunity to work on one of the most important problems of our timeFor any questions contact .How were differentEtched 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.Required Experience:Intern Key Skills Campaigns,Abinitio,AutoCAD 3D,Hardware & Networking,Customer Support,Arabic Employment Type : Full-Time Experience: years Vacancy: 1
