Key skills for this role
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to build the software that runs chip fabrication at fab2.
You’ll work on the core application engineers use to define processes, run tools, track wafers, monitor equipment, and understand what happened after every run. This is a greenfield role for someone who wants to work across software and physical systems, own large pieces of the stack, and make a complex fab easier to program and understand.
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.
fab2 prints chips. fab2 prints fabs. The Software team builds the software that runs it all.
