Key skills for this role
We are seeking Software Engineering Interns to work on the Fab team for the winter term. The internship begins in January, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You will build full-stack applications, tools, and infrastructure for a software-defined semiconductor fab.
This is a deeply broad, multi-domain, hands-on role. You’ll work on control of semiconductor fabrication equipment, and data analysis of semiconductor process development. The software you build will help engineers develop and operate the fab. If you’re excited by building complex features from scratch, and learning new domains quickly, this is a great place to grow.
Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio (can be your GitHub) is required to apply : show us the things you’ve actually built! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of software engineering excellence and curiosity.
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.
