Electronic Hardware Design Engineer (San Francisco)

Atomic Semi Job Post

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.

About the Role

As an Electronic Hardware Design Engineer at Atomic Semi you will work closely with other engineers to rapidly prototype and test lithography systems, deposition tools, vacuum chambers, nanometer precision motion control, plasma etching systems, and related tools.

You'll be expected to design, prototype, test, and debug new electrical systems. You will work on designing, developing, and optimizing electrical components, systems, and products across various applications. This role requires innovative thinking, attention to detail, and the ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical systems for our machines
• Collaborate cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and process teams to gather requirements
• End-to-end ownership of PCB design, bringup, testing, integration, and documentation
• Investigate optimal design approaches and perform detailed analysis / simulations to evaluate electrical designs
