fab2 Process Engineering Intern will design PCBAs and electrical systems for semiconductor fabrication machines. The role involves cross-functional collaboration and prototyping solutions for IC manufacturing.
Responsibilities
We’re hiring Electrical 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. You will work closely with other engineers to develop lithography systems, deposition tools, vacuum chambers, nanometer precision motion control, plasma etching systems, and related tools. You’ll be expected to identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that will revolutionize IC manufacturing.
Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is required to apply: show us the things you’ve actually built! If you’ve shipped a medium-to-high complexity system through a personal project or previous internship, you’d be a good fit here.
Design PCBAs and electrical systems for our machines, driving the end-to-end process including schematic capture, layout, bringup, testing, integration, and documentation.
Collaborate cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and process teams to gather system requirements, performing independent investigations to define targets where requirements are ambiguous or missing.
Investigate optimal design approaches and perform detailed analysis and simulations to evaluate electrical designs, weighing off-the-shelf components against custom solutions.
Required Experience
Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering
Strong foundation in electrical engineering (KiCad/Altium, microcontrollers, embedded systems, digital circuits, etc.)
Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems
Hands-on prototyping experience and the ability to move through design cycles quickly
Familiarity with semiconductor processing— ALD, CVD, PVD, photolithography, etc.
Hands-on experience with electromechanical assembly design and analysis from coursework, internships, or personal projects
