Physical Design Engineer - Flow & Methodologies
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
Etched is building a new category of AI hardware: frontier inference clusters. As a Physical Design Methodology Engineer, you will architect our PD flow from first principles. You will own the infrastructure that allows our design team to iterate at unprecedented speeds, directly accelerating our time-to-market and enabling PPA gains that aren't possible with off-the-shelf CAD methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
Architect, build, and maintain our automated RTL-to-GDSII flow, from synthesis through place and route to signoff handoff.
Automate PD flows end to end, including regression running, run management, and release and version control of flow
