Jobs at Fab2

Seeking hands-on engineers across mechanical, electrical, software, and nanofabrication to design and build full-stack chip-making hardware and software, iterate quickly, and develop fabs, tools, and components in a San Francisco lab.

Develop and qualify assembly processes for electro-mechanical systems and fabs. Design fixtures, workstations, and assembly aids; write work instructions; build and debug first units; root-cause defects; select and qualify production equipment; support tool and fab installation; train technicians and ramp to repeatable production.

Lead end-to-end characterization and testing of positioning tools: build automated test programs, run electrical and software tests, diagnose complex cross-disciplinary failures, document results, and drive engineering improvements. Portfolio required.

Design, prototype, and build semiconductor fabrication tools and subsystems (deposition, etch, anneal, plasma). Own end-to-end mechanical and electromechanical systems, source components, partner with cross-functional teams, and validate vacuum and fluid-handling hardware for production.

Lead IT operations across Austin and San Francisco: own onboarding/offboarding, manage devices, accounts, access, and workplace systems; provide day-to-day support, maintain office networking and conference-room tech, create runbooks and standards, partner with engineering, and manage vendors to scale IT processes.

Operate and program Haas 5-axis VMCs and mill-turn lathes, manage CAM programs, setup and inspect first articles, handle tooling and pallet-pool workflows, optimize cycle times and tooling to improve production throughput while holding tight tolerances on stainless and aluminum.

Perform preventative and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting, upgrades, and calibrations on semiconductor fabrication equipment. Document SOPs and failure modes, collaborate with engineers to improve tool reliability, monitor SPC and alarms, drive continuous improvement, manage spares inventory, and train maintenance personnel to maximize uptime and MTBF.

Design and build high-performance backend systems and APIs to connect web applications with fab hardware. Lead architecture, data modeling, reliability, observability, and real-time integration for mission-critical manufacturing systems.

Hands-on electrical engineering intern will design, prototype, and build semiconductor fabrication equipment. Duties include circuit design, electromechanical assembly, simulations, mechanical drawings, vendor sourcing, and productionizing prototypes. A portfolio of shipped or personal projects is required.

Design, prototype, and build semiconductor fabrication equipment and subsystems. Lead system integration, testing, and cross-team coordination. Develop electrical designs and PCBs, execute mechanical CAD and fabrication, rapidly prototype and test, source components, and write light software/firmware. Portfolio required.

Lead end-to-end R&D for advanced patterning hardware: simulate optical/nanophotonic behavior, design and fabricate sub-micron patterning tools, and integrate with deposition, development, and etch processes to deliver working prototypes.

Design, prototype, and build robotic automation and electromechanical systems for semiconductor packaging. Create mechanical assemblies, integrate microcontrollers/PLCs, sensors, actuators, and firmware, validate control systems, source components, and collaborate cross-functionally. Applicants must provide a portfolio of hands-on projects.

Characterize CMOS devices, design and fabricate test chips and probe cards, develop test plans and automation, deploy parameter-extraction (e.g., BSIM) tools, analyze electrical data, and provide feedback to process engineers to improve materials and process flows.

Build and maintain quality systems for components, tools, and fabs: create inspection plans, perform first-article and in-process inspections, lead root-cause analyses, implement corrective actions, manage nonconforming material and supplier quality, and integrate quality workflows into ERP/MES.

Lead and own end-to-end accounting for a hardware-intensive startup. Build close processes, inventory/WIP and cost accounting, controls, ERP/MES/PLM integrations, audit readiness, and hire/manage an accounting team while partnering cross-functionally.

Design and run experiments to develop and optimize semiconductor and thin-film fabrication methods. Operate deposition, etch, lithography, and metrology tools; develop and transfer process recipes; analyze process data, troubleshoot equipment and recipes, and document results. Read technical literature to inform experiments and mentor/partner with senior engineers to improve yield, consistency, and throughput.

Design, build, deploy, and operate on-prem backend infrastructure for a small semiconductor fab. Manage bare-metal Linux servers, build IaC tooling, implement monitoring/alerting and secret management, automate operational tasks, and debug production issues while collaborating with engineering teams. Portfolio (e.g., GitHub) required.

Own sourcing and material planning for semiconductor fab production: supplier negotiation, MRP execution, shortage recovery, supplier qualification, make-vs-buy analysis, PO management, inbound logistics, export-control compliance, and designing sourcing features in internal manufacturing software to keep builds continuously clear-to-build.

Fall internship building real-time control software for semiconductor fabrication equipment. You'll develop Linux-based real-time applications, design algorithms and simulations for robotic control, and work on motor controllers, path planning, and trajectory control. Requires a portfolio, pursuit of a CS/EE/CE degree, proficiency in Python/C/C++, and robotics software experience. Preferred: feedback control, computer vision, Rust.

Develop and maintain CAM programs for 5-axis VMCs and mill-turn lathes, optimize toolpaths and fixturing to reduce cycle time, implement probing and pallet-pool lights-out routines, manage tool libraries and presetter offsets, provide DFM feedback, and produce durable process documentation.
