About Atomic Semi
At Atomic Semi, we are revolutionizing semiconductor manufacturing by creating a compact and efficient semiconductor fabrication facility. Leveraging current technologies and innovative techniques, we aim to develop our own fabrication tools for rapid iteration and enhancement.
Our dedicated team consists of hands-on engineers specializing in mechanical, electrical, hardware, and computer engineering, as well as process design. We manage every aspect of the stack, from atomic structures to architectural design. Our optimistic vision for the future drives us to continually push the boundaries of technology.
Our philosophy emphasizes that smaller, faster, and self-built solutions are superior. We are equipped with advanced tools including 3D printers, a diverse range of microscopes, e-beam writers, and general fabrication equipment. If there’s a tool we need, we will create it ourselves.
Founded by industry pioneers Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller, Atomic Semi is poised to redefine what is possible in semiconductor technology. Sam is renowned for his garage chip-making endeavors, while Jim brings over 40 years of leadership experience in the semiconductor sector.
About the Role
We are looking for passionate Rust Software Engineering Interns for the fall semester, starting in September, with an ideal commitment of 4 to 8 months. You will contribute to the development of cutting-edge tools for chip fabrication and design, incorporating real-time collaboration, computational geometry, GPU-accelerated visualization, simulation, interactive editing, and data processing.
This multifaceted role will involve engaging with various domains, from low-level system operations and data synchronization to high-performance rendering and sophisticated UI/UX tools. Your contributions will empower engineers to design and comprehend complex physical systems. If you're enthusiastic about performance engineering, creating intricate features from the ground up, and quickly adapting to new domains, this position offers a fantastic opportunity for personal and professional growth.
We prioritize rapid prototyping and testing, aiming to complete projects in days or weeks rather than months. As part of the application process, a portfolio demonstrating your work (such as your GitHub profile) is required—show us your creations! A strong portfolio will reflect your software engineering skills and your curiosity.
