Firmware Engineer

Etched was founded on the belief that new hardware will be needed to run human- and superhuman-level artificial intelligence. Our ASIC systems deliver orders of magnitude higher performance than conventional AI chips. Etched is actively developing Sohu , an ASIC exclusively for transformers, which will enable products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep chain-of-thought reasoning. And we're bringing this technology to market in months, not years. Sohu is hard-coded for individual model architectures and only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Co-Develop cutting-edge software optimized across hardware and software driving the full potential of very large transformer models.
• Solve challenging problems across the full stack, from low-level drivers and APIs to high-level applications and frameworks.
• Contribute to the development of AI solutions that will revolutionize industries like natural language processing, chain of reasoning automation, generative media.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 3 years of experience in software development, and with data structures/algorithms.
• 3 years of experience developing and testing software on launching products.
• 3 years of experience with firmware design, implementation, and troubleshooting.
• 3 years of experience with embedded architectures, IO technologies (I2C, SPI, PCIe, DRAM etc.), as well as concepts like scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master’s degree Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Experience resolving customer-related issues.
• Experience solving ambiguous problems.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
