Legal assistant job in San Jose, CA
Team: Legal
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 are an in-person team in San Jose, CA, and are on-site 5 days a week.
The role
Etched is looking for a legal intern currently enrolled in law school with interest or exposure to private company and public company corporate governance, equity management, and legal operations to join our team.
You'll be a legal resource for entity management, equity workflows, legal operations, and transactional support as we scale operations, close financings, and grow globally. You thrive in ambiguity, move fast without sacrificing accuracy, and bring a first principles mindset to building legal infrastructure.
You may be a good fit if you have
Progress towards a J.D. and exposure to both corporate law firms and in-house startup environments
Coursework or interest in private company governance, venture financings, equity administration, California and Delaware corporate laws
Technical skills with equity platforms (e.g., Carta), virtual data rooms, and contract management tools
Experience supporting semiconductor or hardware technology companies a plus
A proactive, collaborative, go-getting team player who values precision, confidentiality, and adaptability in a fast-moving environment
Paralegal certificate or equivalent practical experience is preferred
We encourage you to apply even if you do not believe you meet every single qualification.
Program details:
12-week paid internship (Jan - June 2026 OR June - August 2026)
Generous housing support for those relocating

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
Compensation range:
$24K-$30K
For any questions, contact **********************.
How we're different
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 West San Jose, 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.
