Role Summary

About fab2

The fab2 team can build anything. We design all the hardware and software needed to make chips and we make the fabs, tools, and components ourselves.

We're looking for exceptional, hands-on people who can iterate to the limits of what's possible.

fab2 was founded by Sam Zeloof https://www.youtube.com/@SamZeloof and Jim Keller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keller_(engineer). Sam is best known for making chips in his garage, and Jim has been a leader in the semiconductor industry for the past 40 years.

Don’t see the right role for you?

We are always looking to meet exceptional people. Our product is “full-stack” and spans several engineering disciplines. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of what we’re working on:

• Mechanical systems (high precision mechanical design, control systems, fluids, temperature & vibration control, optics)
• Electrical systems (RF, high voltage, FPGAs)
• Software (firmware, low-latency controls, data analysis, robotics and automation)
• Nanofabrication (process engineering, chemistry, device physics, transistor modeling)

We’re moving really fast and our needs are changing fast. If you think you can help us build something great, let’s chat!

About the Company

The Tool Software team builds the software that runs fab2's semiconductor fabrication tools. We work across the stack, from microcontroller firmware and real-time control to Linux applications for calibration, diagnostics, simulation, build/release infrastructure, and over-the-air deployment.

Our software sits close to the hardware and directly affects tool performance, uptime, process repeatability, and fab throughput. We partner closely with electrical, mechanical, process, and fab teams to bring new equipment online and scale it into production.
