Our first product (Sohu) only supports transformers, but has an order of magnitude more throughput and lower 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 chain-of-thought reasoning.About EtchedEtched is building AI chips that are hard-coded for individual model architectures.

Time-to-market is the objective function of our business, and it's essential to evaluate vendors and purchase products much faster than most semiconductor projects.You will work closely with the operations team to create and implement a system to rapidly evaluate vendors, make purchases, and ensure on-time product delivery. This is an incredibly important job: every minute engineering is blocked on POs, NDAs, redlines, and decisions is a minute customers can't use our hardware.Representative ProjectsIssue purchase orders in ERP system and get materials on time for productionNegotiating favorable payment plans and pricing for IPs and engineering toolsCreating a system to automatically place and track purchase orders across the companyRunning the redline process for a scope-of-work contract with a hardware vendorIdentifying and evaluating suppliers, gathering quotes, and making recommendationsEvaluate existing contracts for issues and renegotiate them when necessaryYou May Be a Good Fit If YouHave at least 3 years of experience managing, organizing, purchasing, and maintaining large quantities of hardware and/or semiconductor equipmentHave experience redlining and negotiating contracts quicklyHave built systems and tools to sign, track, and follow-up on purchase ordersFamiliarity with typical pricing and expectations of vendors in the semiconductor industryWe encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.Strong Candidates May Also Have Experience WithPersonal relationships with our largest vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, GCP)How We're DifferentEtched 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 West San Jose, 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.BenefitsFull medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverageHousing subsidy of $2,000/month for those living within walking distance of the officeDaily lunch and dinner in our officeRelocation support for those moving to West San JoseCompensation Range$150,000 - $275,000Seniority level Seniority level Mid-Senior levelEmployment type Employment type Full-timeJob function Job function Purchasing and Supply ChainIndustries Computer Hardware ManufacturingReferrals increase your chances of interviewing at Etched by 2xGet notified about new Procurement Specialist jobs in San Jose, CA .San Jose, CA $106,000.00-$180,000.00 1 week agoMountain View, CA $115,000.00-$125,000.00 1 week agoSunnyvale, CA $85,000.00-$95,000.00 3 weeks agoSupply Chain Manager, Indirect Procurement Sourcing Manager , Strategic Procurement San Jose, CA $98,000.00-$130,000.00 1 month agoSan Jose, CA $68,640.00-$85,000.00 2 months agoSan Jose, CA $4,313.00-$7,806.00 2 weeks agoNewark, CA $107,474.00-$129,489.00 5 days agoSan Jose, CA $70,000.00-$85,000.00 2 days agoGlobal Supply Manager, Hardware Procurement San Jose, CA $88,000.00-$138,111.00 13 hours agoSan Jose, CA $70,000.00-$85,000.00 1 week agoSan Jose, CA $88,000.00-$180,000.00 3 weeks agoSan Jose, CA $79,800.00-$131,100.00 2 weeks agoWe're unlocking community knowledge in a new way.
