Process Engineering Intern - Summer

Atomic Semi
San Francisco, CA Intern
POSTED ON 1/22/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/21/2025

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.

About the role

We're hiring process engineering interns for the summer term (May - August). We're rebuilding the chip fabrication process from the ground-up, so you'll be exposed to some really interesting and impactful work. This is a hands-on process engineering role- that means getting your hands dirty designing experiments, pushing wafers, analyzing data and pathfinding.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience working in a semiconductor lab / cleanroom before, as well as intermediate to advanced process engineering knowledge (planar CMOS devices, CMOS fabrication, etc.)

Responsibilities

  • Designing experiments in conjunction with our process engineers, reading papers, white-boarding
  • Pushing wafers and learning tools
  • Analyzing experimental data, driving next steps

Required qualifications

  • Pursuing a Bachelor's Degree or higher in engineering
  • Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems
  • Hands-on experience in a cleanroom or semiconductor lab fabricating wafers
  • Hands-on experience with wafer fabrication tools (etch, deposition, patterning) and metrology tools (AFM, SEM, thin film measurement, etc.)
  • Strong foundation in theoretical semiconductor knowledge (devices, fabrication, etc.)
  • Desired qualifications

  • Familiarity with data processing in Python is a plus
  • Working at Atomic Semi

    We're an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and a lab / office in San Francisco, CA.
