FP&A Analyst

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 a B200. With Etched ASICs, you can build products that would be impossible with GPUs, like real-time video generation models and extremely deep & parallel chain-of-thought reasoning agents. 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.

We’re looking for a dedicated FP&A Associate to own our internal financial planning engine. This is a pure FP&A role—100% internally focused with zero external deal work. You’ll be the person leadership turns to when they need budgets built, forecasts sharpened, and financial models that actually drive decisions. If you thrive on bringing order to complexity, moving fast when stakes are high, and building financial infrastructure from scratch at a deep tech startup, this role was made for you.

• Exceptional organizational skills—you bring structure, standardization, and rigor to everything you touch

• Clear, concise communicator who is comfortable presenting to senior leadership

• Bias toward action and urgency; you don’t wait to be told what to do

• Comfort with ambiguity and building processes from zero in a fast-paced environment

• Low ego, high ownership—you’re willing to roll up your sleeves on whatever needs doing

• Technical skills such as SQL, Python, or other data analysis tools

• Experience with financial systems implementation or migration

• Startup founder experience or other entrepreneurial background

• Exposure to hardware or deep tech business models

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 and Taipei, 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.
