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 are seeking an experienced ECAD Librarian to manage and maintain our schematic symbol and PCB footprint libraries, ensuring our design teams work from accurate, consistent, and manufacturable component data.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, maintain, and organize the ECAD library of Allegro schematic symbols and PCB footprints, ensuring alignment with design team requirements and project specifications

• Create and validate complex schematic symbols and PCB footprints in Allegro, ensuring compliance with IPC standards and company guidelines

• Build and maintain complete component metadata, including part numbering, attributes, and datasheet linkage

• Collaborate with the manufacturing team to adjust symbols and footprints as needed, ensuring compliance with design for manufacturability (DFM) requirements and alignment with JEDEC standards and industry guidelines

• Partner with electrical engineers and layout designers to resolve library issues quickly and prevent errors from propagating into fabrication and assembly

• Establish and enforce best practices for library version control, part approvals, and data integrity

• Collaborate with component suppliers to obtain accurate technical data and ensure compatibility with design requirements

• Perform detailed quality checks on symbols and footprints to guarantee design accuracy and reliability

You may be a good fit if you have (Must-have qualifications)

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience

• 5+ years of experience in ECAD library management, including creating Allegro schematic symbols and PCB footprints

• Expertise in Allegro PCB Editor and related tools for symbol and footprint creation

• Good understanding of Part Life Cycle, EOL parts, and RoHS/EU compliance

• Strong understanding of IPC standards for PCB footprint creation, JEDEC package standards, and package dimensional tolerances

• Experience working directly with manufacturing teams to adapt designs for optimal manufacturability and yield

• Experience with version control systems for ECAD libraries, such as Git or PLM software

• Excellent attention to detail and ability to manage complex libraries with a focus on accuracy and efficiency

• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with electrical and manufacturing teams

• Experience with scripting languages (e.g., SKILL for Allegro) to automate library management tasks

• Knowledge of BOM management and integration with ECAD libraries

How we’re different

Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system, betting early on transformer and transformer-like architectures and on increasing model sizes. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors.
