Job Description 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 models and extremely deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents. Backed by hundreds of millions from top-tier investors and staffed by leading engineers from NVIDIA, Google, and Meta, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for the fastest growing industry in history.
Job Summary We’re looking for a Manufacturing Operations Program Manager to lead day-to-day execution across our contract manufacturers. You’ll own the delivery of fully integrated server systems—from board assembly and component kitting to bring-up, burn-in, and outbound shipment. This is a high-responsibility, cross-functional role that sits at the center of production, quality, and engineering.
You’ll collaborate closely with Etched’s hardware, production, and logistics teams to ensure reliable, high-quality output against aggressive timelines.
Key responsibilities
Own build schedules and production execution at our contract manufacturers
Coordinate material availability, work order release, factory readiness, and line balance
Monitor yields, throughput, and quality metrics; drive issue resolution with engineering and supplier quality teams
Execute and enforce manufacturing processes including bring-up, diagnostics, rework, and final test
Ensure daily/weekly output targets are met and proactively escalate blockers
Align cross-functionally on build readiness (NPI/MP), ECOs, and configuration changes
Serve as the primary in-person interface between Etched and the L11 factory team
Support production planning and forecast execution in collaboration with the planning team
Conduct factory audits and help drive continuous improvement efforts in tooling, flow, and documentation
You may be a good fit if you have
8+ years experience in hardware manufacturing operations or OPM roles, ideally in system hardware company
Hands‑on familiarity with SMT, server integration, or datacenter hardware bring-up
Proven ability to manage factory output
Comfortable working on‑site resolving issues in real time
Strong communication skills and cross‑functional coordination capability
Working knowledge of BOMs, MRP/ERP systems, yield analysis, and change control
Strong candidates may also have experience with
Previous experience in NPI‑to‑MP transitions
Familiarity with thermal/power validation workflows or failure analysis
Background in electrical or mechanical engineering
Exposure to high-volume production scaling or rapid prototype builds
Benefits
Full medical, dental, and vision packages, with generous premium coverage
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 San Jose (Santana Row)
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.
