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
Etched is seeking an SMT Process Engineer to help establish our first PCB assembly (PCBA) manufacturing facility. You will be part of the core team selecting, installing, qualifying, and launching our first SMT production line, with hands-on ownership of manufacturing readiness from initial setup through volume production.
This role spans equipment programming, process development, tooling, operator training, and engineering build support. You will also provide technical direction to one SMT Engineering Technician, ensuring equipment and lab readiness to support new product introduction and production schedules. This is an opportunity to build an SMT operation from the ground up and establish the processes and standards that support future growth.
We are a fully in-person team in San Jose (Santana Row) 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 and work across disciplines as needed.
