Process Engineering Intern - Summer

About fab2 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.

About the Role

We're hiring Process Engineering Interns for the summer term. The internship begins in May or June, 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. This is a hands-on process engineering role—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. 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.

Responsibilities

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 Required Experience Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering Abi
