About the role

We're hiring Electrical Engineering Interns for the fall term. The internship begins in September, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. We're rebuilding the chip fabrication process from the ground up, so you'll be exposed to some really interesting and impactful work. You will work closely with other engineers to develop lithography systems, deposition tools, vacuum chambers, nanometer precision motion control, plasma etching systems, and related tools. You'll be expected to identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that will revolutionize IC manufacturing. Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is required to apply : show us the things you've actually built! If you've shipped a medium-to-high complexity system through a personal project or previous internship, you'd be a good fit here.

Responsibilities

  • Designing, prototyping, and building semiconductor fabrication equipment
  • Writing mechanical drawings and documentation
  • Circuit design and electrical engineering
  • Performing detailed analysis and simulations to evaluate electromechanical designs
  • Working with vendors to source components and materials
  • Required Experience
  • Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree or higher in engineering
  • Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems
  • Hands-on prototyping experience and the ability to move through design cycles quickly
  • Hands-on experience with electromechanical assembly design and analysis from coursework, internships, or personal projects
  • Strong foundation in electrical engineering (KiCad/Altium, microcontrollers, embedded systems, digital circuits, etc.)

Requirements

  • Familiarity with semiconductor processing- ALD, CVD, PVD, photolithography, etc.
  • Strong foundation in mechanical engineering (Solidworks/Onshape, simulation, materials selection, etc.)
  • Working at Atomic Semi
  • Internship Benefits:
  • Housing Stipend to help with first month expenses
  • Lunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts
  • Weekly Learning & Development opportunities
  • Commuter Benefits including Parking and Late Night Uber rides from the office
  • Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time
  • Visa Sponsorship
  • Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Life and Disability Insurance
  • We are an equal-opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.
  • Export Control Analysis: This position involves access to technology that is subject to U.S. export controls. Any job offer made will be contingent upon the applicant's capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.

Additional Information

About Atomic Semi Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab. It's already possible to build this with today's technology and a few simplifications. We'll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve. We're building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We'll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology. Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better. We believe our team and lab can build anything. We've set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, we'll just invent along the way. Atomic was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller . 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.
