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.
What you'd do
- Develop and maintain end-to-end production schedules for silicon wafers, interposers, and test/assembly, supporting phases from engineering builds to mass production.
- Coordinate with foundries, OSATs (Outsourced Semiconductor Assembly and Test providers), and internal stakeholders to ensure production milestones and quality goals are met.
- Collaborate with test engineering teams to coordinate ATE test program development, bring-up planning, and bench validation hardware readiness.
- Track and forecast capacity planning across all silicon manufacturing stages, including wafer fabrication, component procurement, assembly, and test.
- Manage the procurement, delivery, and scheduling of key silicon components (e.g., wafers, interposers, substrates) to ensure optimal time-to-market.
- Act as the operational lead between internal teams and suppliers, ensuring transparency and alignment across silicon, packaging, validation, and manufacturing.
- Prepare for mass production ramp by ensuring material readiness, test infrastructure availability, and logistic support to mitigate bottlenecks or delays.
- Build and maintain demand forecasts for silicon and related components, based on build plans, yield assumptions, validation schedules, and market dynamics.
- Share regular forecasts with supply chain partners and ensure proactive capacity allocation at foundries and OSATs.
- Generate and maintain detailed dashboards and reports to track schedule adherence, capacity utilization, inventory status, and delivery performance for executive and technical stakeholders.
What they want
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in supply chain management, production planning, or operations within the semiconductor industry.
- Deep understanding of the silicon lifecycle: tape-out, fabrication, packaging, test, bring-up, and validation
- Proven track record working with foundries (TSMC, Samsung, etc.) and OSATs (ASE, Amkor, JCET, etc.).
- Willingness to travel up to 25% for onsite supplier engagement, engineering builds, and production ramp support.
- Strong understanding of: Silicon manufacturing processes, including wafer fabrication, dicing, bumping, CoWoS packaging, and testing
- Proficiency in using ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and advanced Excel skills or analytics tools.
- Experience with hardware validation cycles and managing silicon hardware logistics.
- Exceptional program management and organizational skills with the ability to handle complex timelines and interdependencies.
- Effective communicator and cross-functional leader across engineering, validation, and operations teams.
