About the job
Join the Future with Atomic Semi
At Atomic Semi, we are pioneering the development of a compact and rapid semiconductor fabrication facility. Leveraging existing technologies and innovative simplifications, we aim to construct our own tools for swift iteration and enhancement.
Our mission is supported by a small, exceptional team of hands-on engineers specializing in various fields including mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer engineering, and process design. Together, we take ownership of the entire stack, from atomic structures to overarching architectural designs. We are optimistic about technological advancements and are committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
We believe in the power of small, fast, and self-built solutions. Our state-of-the-art lab is equipped with 3D printers, diverse microscopes, e-beam writers, and general fabrication tools. If we find that something is missing, we’ll innovate and create it ourselves!
Founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller, Atomic Semi combines garage ingenuity with decades of semiconductor industry leadership.
Open Invitation for Exceptional Talent
We are continuously on the lookout for remarkable individuals who can contribute to our full-stack product development, which encompasses numerous engineering disciplines. Here’s a glimpse of the areas we are involved in:
Mechanical systems (high precision mechanical design, control systems, fluids, temperature & vibration control, optics)
Electrical systems (RF, high voltage, FPGAs)
Software (firmware, low-latency controls, data analysis, robotics and automation)
Nanofabrication (process engineering, chemistry, device physics, transistor modeling)
Our pace is rapid, and our needs evolve quickly. If you believe you can help us build something extraordinary, we would love to hear from you!
Life at Atomic Semi
As an early-stage hardware startup backed by solid funding and world-class advisors, we operate from our lab and office located in San Francisco, CA.
