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’re hiring someone to own Etched’s internship program end to end, across every technical and non-technical team. You’ll decide where we recruit, who we hire, what their summer looks like, and how many come back. You will be reporting directly to the Head of Talent and other executives at the company.

What You’ll Do

Own the internship program end to end: headcount planning, sourcing, screening, interviews, offers, onboarding, and return offers
Hire interns across every team, from RTL and firmware to GTM and finance
Run high-volume pipelines without lowering the bar
Design intern programming that makes interns want to come back
Track conversion, offer acceptance, and return-offer rates

You may be a good fit if you

Have built something from zero and can point to the results
Judge talent by what people have done, not their credentials
Can explain to a sophomore why transformer-specific silicon matters
Can run hundreds of candidates in parallel without letting any of them wait
Thrive in ambiguity and care deeply about candidate experience

Nice-to-have

Experience running campus recruiting or an internship program
Familiarity with the AI or semiconductor talent landscape
Strong technical background (engineering, CS, or hands-on technical work)

Benefits

Medical, dental, and vision packages with generous premium coverage
- $500 per month credit for waiving medical benefits
Housing subsidy of $2.5k 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
Unlimited compute budget subject to ROI justification

How we’re different
Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors.

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 and work across disciplines as needed.
