Austin, Texas, United States • On-site
Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and execute experiments for new semiconductor and thin-film fabrication methods. Develop, optimize, and transfer process recipes while troubleshooting equipment and documenting results.
Requires a degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, or a related field. Must have hands-on cleanroom experience with multi-step fabrication flows and proficiency in deposition, etch, and lithography tools.
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 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.
The Process Team sits at the heart of our in-house device development, driving the design of each new generation of tools. This is unlike any role at a traditional foundry—we simultaneously develop recipes, apply novel materials, test and characterize our chips, and troubleshoot tools.
As a Process Development Engineer at fab2, you’ll be responsible for experiment design and execution of new semiconductor and thin-film fabrication methods. We're looking for someone with both a strong understanding of traditional semiconductor processing methods and an open-mindedness to new techniques. It'll be helpful if you have the ability to digest and filter a large body of existing work (academic papers, books, etc.)
This is a high-ownership role with lots of autonomy in a fast-moving startup environment. You’ll have the opportunity to contribute to novel R&D processes and influence tool design. Candidates should have hands-on cleanroom experience and a track record of developing nanofabrication recipes from scratch, ideally across multiple process steps.
Work in the lab to design and run experiments alongside senior process engineers
Read academic papers and technical literature to inform experimental design; whiteboard ideas and iterate quickly
Learn and operate a range of semiconductor tools, including deposition, etch, lithography, and metrology systems
Develop, transfer, and optimize process recipes across platforms with a focus on consistency, yield, and throughput
Analyze process data, troubleshoot recipe or equipment issues, and clearly document findings and results for the team
BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering or related field
Hands-on cleanroom experience with multi-step fabrication flows
Experience operating thin film deposition, dry etch, and lithography tools
Recipe development and optimization for some subset of thin film deposition, dry etch, or lithography
Familiarity with key metrology such as ellipsometry, profilometry, SEM, etc
Mechanical or maintenance experience with fab tools
Full device‐flow experience
We’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and offices in Austin and San Francisco.
Compensation: fab2 is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $90,000 – $180,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in fab2.
