Power Validation Engineer
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 are looking for a Power Validation Engineer to own the end-to-end power characterization of our ASIC and the mezzanine card platform — from early silicon bring-up through production qualification. You will design measurement methodology, build test benches, and drive findings directly into silicon, package, and system design decisions.
Key Responsibilities
Design and execute power measurement campaigns across all voltage rails (VDD_CORE, HBM, PCIe, AUX, etc) under realistic LLM inference and power virus workloads; characterize peak, sustained, and idle power envelopes across PVT corners and define derating curves used in system thermal and PDN specs
