About the role
The Tool Software team builds the software that runs Atomic Semi'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. We're hiring embedded software engineers to help build the software systems behind our fab equipment. You'll develop firmware for real-time control of semiconductor processing tools, working from early system definition through board bring-up, driver development, control logic, state machines, communications interfaces, and production deployment. This is an end-to-end role for engineers who enjoy debugging across hardware and software boundaries. You'll collaborate with electronics and mechanical engineers on schematics, system requirements, controls implementation, and tool integration. You'll also work on Linux-based Rust applications used for equipment control, operator interfaces, diagnostics, and automation.
