To thrive as an ASIC Intern, you need a solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, hardware description languages (such as Verilog or VHDL), and coursework or experience in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with tools like simulation software (ModelSim, Synopsys VCS), FPGA prototyping platforms, and version control systems (Git) is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with engineering teams will help you stand out. These competencies are crucial because ASIC design is a complex, team-oriented process that relies on both technical acumen and strong interpersonal skills to ensure successful chip development.
An ASIC Intern assists in the design, verification, and testing of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). They work with design engineers to create and simulate circuit layouts, debug hardware, and optimize performance. Responsibilities may include using hardware description languages (HDLs) like Verilog or VHDL, writing test scripts, and analyzing power and timing constraints. This role provides hands-on experience in chip development, allowing interns to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world semiconductor projects.
As an ASIC Intern, you can expect to contribute to various stages of the chip development process, including RTL design, verification, simulation, and debugging. Your daily tasks may involve writing and testing code, running simulations, documenting results, and collaborating with senior engineers to resolve technical challenges. It's common to participate in team meetings to discuss project progress and receive feedback on your work, providing valuable exposure to industry best practices. This hands-on experience not only develops your technical skills but also helps you understand the workflow and expectations in a professional ASIC design environment.

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
Our electrical engineering interns will work on both hands-on product design and the development of design and validation infrastructure to design boards that will support bleeding edge systems and silicon.
Our Platform Team is building the full-stack system that supports Etched Silicon from PCB to Rack. We are seeking interns to work across all aspects of mechanical and electrical engineering to design the future of high power ASIC systems. We are looking for Fall '26, Spring '27, and Summer '27 interns.
You may be a good fit if you have
Progress towards a Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Experience building real mechanical systems, boards, or other hands-on projects.
Knowledge of board design cycle, high-speed interconnects, power delivery, and system integration.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every qualification.
Program details
12-week paid internship
Generous housing support for those relocating
Daily lunch and dinner in our office
Based at our office in San Jose, CA
Direct mentorship from industry leaders and world-class engineers
Opportunity to work on one of the most important problems of our time

How we’re different
Etched believes in the Bitter Lesson. We are the first inference-focused frontier AI system. Our addressable market is the entirety of inference, unlike many of our competitors.
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 and work across disciplines as needed.
