Etched
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 GPUs. Backed by top-tier investors and led by world-class engineers, Etched is redefining the infrastructure layer for AI. As we scale production and global deployments, we are seeking a
Demand Planning Manager
to own demand planning, and supply alignment across new product introductions and volume production.
Key Responsibilities
Own demand-supply forecasting and finished goods inventory.
Generate and execute weekly and quarterly demand - supply plans that meet Etched’s S&OP objective. Evaluate risks. Plan and implement contingency plans to mitigate risk.
Build and execute weekly, monthly, and quarterly demand and supply plans
Monitor planned vs. actual builds, inventory levels, and consumption rates; adjust plans as needed
Partner with Manufacturing OPM and Global Supply Management to translate forecasts into executable build plans
Lead scenario planning, risk identification, and mitigation under capacity or component constraints
Present demand, supply risks, and recommended actions to leadership
Drive continuous improvement of demand planning processes, tools, and models
You may be a good fit if you have (Must-have qualifications)
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field
5+ years of experience in demand planning, supply planning, or supply chain operations
Strong analytical skills; highly proficient in Excel
Experience supporting production environments and NPI ramps
Excellent communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

$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.
