Cupertino, California, United States Etched Full time
About Us

Etched is pioneering the development of AI chips that are purpose-built for individual model architectures. Our flagship product, Sohu, boasts an order of magnitude more throughput and lower latency than a B200 GPU. By leveraging Etched ASICs, you can design products that would be impossible with traditional GPUs, such as real-time video generation models and extremely deep chain-of-thought reasoning.

We are seeking a highly skilled High-Touch Rack Solutions Architect to join our team and play a pivotal role in selecting, qualifying, and integrating all components within data center racks. As a key member of our team, you will oversee the selection, qualification, and integration of various components within a data center rack. Your responsibilities will include working closely with our world-class Sohu system product, top-of-rack 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.

Responsibilities
  • Select and integrate all components within a data center rack, including servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and cooling solutions.
  • Demonstrate in-depth knowledge of top-of-rack switches available in the market. Assist in selecting, configuring, and integrating these switches into the rack environment.
  • Manage and integrate high-power water cooling systems, including CDU and heat exchangers. Design and implement rack-level manifolds for effective water integration and thermal management.
  • Set up, test, and qualify complete rack solutions to ensure they meet performance, reliability, and efficiency standards.
  • Integrate and configure smart PDUs to manage power distribution efficiently. Ensure compatibility with rack-level power management functions.
  • Maintain a strong understanding of rack-level management functions, including monitoring, control, and automation of rack components.
  • Perform hands-on lab racking and stacking, including the assembly and setup of high-touch rack configurations. Ensure proper installation and integration of all components.
  • Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for rack-level integrations, including component specifications, installation procedures, and testing results. Report on performance and any issues identified during testing.
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, systems engineers, and vendors, to ensure seamless integration and operation of rack-level solutions.
Requirements
  • 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.
  • Strong understanding of rack-level management functions and integration best practices. Linux experience is required
  • Experience with testing and qualifying rack-level solutions to ensure performance and reliability
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply, even if they do not believe they meet every single qualification.

About Our Company Culture

Etched is driven by the Bitter Lesson, believing that most progress in the AI field has come from using more FLOPs to train and run models. We think the best way to get more FLOPs is to build model-specific hardware. This encourages companies to consolidate around fewer model architectures, creating a market for single-model ASICs.

We value engineering skills and expect all technical staff to contribute to both engineering and research as needed. Our team is fully in-person in Cupertino, and we foster a collaborative work environment.

Benefits
  • Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with 100% of premium covered, 90% for dependents
  • Housing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the office
  • Daily lunch and dinner in our office
  • Relocation support for those moving to Cupertino
  • $140,000 - $160,000 salary per year, based on experience
