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.
We’re hiring full-stack Mechanical Engineering Interns for the winter term. The internship begins in January, 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. Our engineering projects are highly interdisciplinary and span domains such as structures, optics, robotics, heat transfer, physics, and chemistry.
What you'd do
- Design, prototype, and build semiconductor fabrication equipment
- Write mechanical drawings and documentation
- Perform detailed analysis and simulations to evaluate electromechanical designs
- Drive prototypes into production in collaboration with our manufacturing and supply chain teams
- Familiarity with semiconductor processing— ALD, CVD, PVD, photolithography, etc.
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering (KiCad/Altium, microcontrollers, embedded systems, digital circuits, etc.)
- Experience in one of the following domains: optical engineering, precision machine design, or vacuum systems
- Housing Stipend to help with first month expenses
- Lunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts
- Weekly Learning & Development opportunities
What they want
- Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering
- Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems
- Hands-on prototyping experience and the ability to move through design cycles quickly
- Hands-on experience with electromechanical assembly design and analysis from coursework, internships, or personal projects
- Strong foundation in mechanical engineering (Solidworks/Onshape, simulation, materials selection, etc.)
