| Aspect | Rust Programming Internship | Rust Developer |
|---|---|---|
| Required Credentials | Typically pursuing a degree in computer science or related field | Professional experience, proficiency in Rust, possibly certifications |
| Work Environment | Internship programs, entry-level projects, mentorship | Full-time employment, project ownership, team collaboration |
| Industry Usage | Training and skill development in tech companies, startups | Product development, system programming, open-source contributions |
The main difference between a Rust Programming Internship and a Rust Developer is experience level and responsibilities. Internships focus on learning, mentorship, and gaining foundational skills, while Rust Developers are experienced professionals responsible for building and maintaining Rust-based applications.

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
In our firmware role, you will help develop firmware for custom ASICs designed to run large AI models efficiently. You’ll work across the stack—from low-level drivers, hardware interfaces, and system initialization code to integration with runtime libraries and model-execution frameworks. Your work will focus on making the hardware operate reliably and at peak performance, enabling high-throughput inference and training workloads. You’ll collaborate with hardware, architecture, and software teams to bring up new silicon, validate features, and support real-world AI applications. We are looking for Summer '26, Fall '26, Spring '27, and Summer '27 interns.
You may be a good fit if you have
Progress towards a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
Proficiency in C/C++ or Rust
Strong fundamentals in data structures and algorithms
Strong understanding of low-level software engineering
Strong understanding of hardware/software co-design
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Strong candidates may also have (Nice to have qualifications)
Experience with Linux internals, kernel development, or driver debugging
Experience with hardware diagnostics or interpreting hardware logs
Exposure to server virtualization or CI/CD pipelines
Experience with Rust or embedded development
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, 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.
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.
