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 fall term. We are a small team doing end-to-end process development integration work for a CMOS process, so you'll be exposed to interesting work that is hard to find at larger companies.
This is a hands-on process engineering role— that means getting your hands dirty with design-of-experiments, analyzing data, research, and processing (we bring up our interns on most of our tools and allow them to use them independently— dry etch, deposition, metrology.)
Responsibilities
We’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and a lab/office in San Francisco, CA. We have a standard offer for interns that is competitive with large bay-area hardware engineering companies.
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.

Responsibilities
- Designing of experiments (analyzing data and current process, consulting theory and reading papers to decide next steps, etc.)
- Hands-on wafer processing (deposition, etch, lithography, metrology.)
- Incremental process improvement (tuning recipes for optimal performance/yield.)
- Analyzing experimental data, driving next steps
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering
- At least 1-2 hands-on cleanroom or cleanroom-adjacent experiences, ideally fabricating devices of higher complexity than MIS capacitors
- Hands-on experience with wafer fabrication tools (etch, deposition, patterning) and metrology tools (AFM, SEM, thin film measurement, etc.) You should have been brought up and independently using tools in our previous experience.
- Strong foundation in theoretical semiconductor knowledge (devices, fabrication, etc.)
- Familiarity with data processing in common languages such as Python is a plus.
