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 We are seeking a highly skilled Rack Level Integration Engineer to join our team and play a crucial role in selecting, qualifying, and integrating all components within data center racks. As a Rack Level Integration Engineer at Etched, you will oversee the selection, qualification, and integration of various components within a data center rack. Your role will involve working with our world class Sohu system product along with top-of-rack (ToR) switches, high-power water cooling systems, CDU (Coolant Distribution Units), heat exchangers, and managing rack-level functions. You will also be responsible for hands-on lab racking and stacking, as well as general engineering for high-touch rack setups to ensure optimal performance and reliability.

Key Responsibilities

• Select and integrate all components within a data center rack, including servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and cooling solutions.

You maybe a good fit if you have

• A Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees or certifications in data center engineering or related areas are a plus.
• A Minimum of 5 years of experience in rack-level integration, including experience with top-of-rack switches, CDU systems, high-power water cooling, and heat exchangers.
• In-depth knowledge of top-of-rack switches and experience with their configuration and integration
• Extensive experience with high-power water cooling systems, including CDU systems, heat exchangers, and rack-level manifolds
• Hands-on experience with lab racking and stacking, and setting up high-touch rack configurations.

We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.

Benefits

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

• $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits

• Housing subsidy of $2k per month for those living within walking distance of the office

• Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)

• 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.
