About Etched Etched is building the world’s 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.

Job Summary Etched is seeking a detail-oriented and analytically minded Logistics Analyst to support and scale our global logistics operations from our San Jose hub. This role will focus on shipment tracking, data analysis, cost and lead-time visibility, and day-to-day operational support across international suppliers, contract manufacturers, and logistics partners.

This is an ideal role for an early-career professional who wants hands-on exposure to global hardware logistics, cross-border shipping, and operational analytics in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

Key Responsibilities

You may be a good fit if you have

• 2-5 years of experience in logistics, supply chain analytics, operations, or a related field.
• Bachelor’s degree in Logistics, Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, Economics, or a related discipline.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with operational data.
• Proficiency in Excel / Google Sheets (lookups, pivots, basic modeling).
• Excellent communication and cross-functional leadership skills, able to work closely with customers, suppliers, and internal teams. Clear written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple shipments and data streams simultaneously.

Strong Candidates May Also Have Experience With (Nice-to-have Qualifications)

• Experience with international freight shipping (air/ocean), customs processes, US domestic shipping, and/or contract manufacturing logistics.
• Familiarity with ERP, TMS, or shipment tracking systems.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and leading through influence.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage

• Various wellness benefits covering fitness, mental health, and more

• Daily lunch + dinner in our office

How We’re Different Etched 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 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 as needed.
