Job Description
About Atomic Semi Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab.
Its already possible to build this with todays technology and a few simplifications. Well build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve.
Were building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. Well own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.
Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better.
We believe our team and lab can build anything. Weve set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, well just invent along the way.
Atomic 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.
About The Team The positioning team is responsible for designing, prototyping and building semiconductor fab equipment and subsystems related to lithography, motion and metrology.
About The Role The electron optics engineer is a hands-on design role that will be directly involved with prototyping and production of precision beam transport systems for Atomic Semis custom semiconductor tooling. In this position, you would be applying optical theory to the charged particle domain to evaluate design concepts, and then taking them from white board to reality. We are seeking candidates with experience rapidly prototyping components for complex systems, and a first-principles mindset to analysis and design. Expect working through difficult design challenges, rapid iteration, lab experiments/collection of data, debugging hardware, and making exciting discoveries.
Responsibilities - Design, analysis, and bring-up of electron-optical systems and related equipment including electron sources, lenses, detectors, beam steering, vacuum chambers, etc.
- Create innovative solutions utilizing novel electron optical techniques
- Electrostatics simulation, mechanical design, high vacuum, ray optics analysis.
- Gathering requirements for designs to facilitate successful bring up of new semiconductor tooling
- Interface with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and process engineers
Required Experience - 2+ years of research or industry experience working with precision electron or ion beam systems
- Analysis of charged particle optical systems
- Mechanical CAD
- High vacuum assemblies and component selection
- Hands-on experience building, prototyping, and assembling complex systems
Nice-to-have - Electronics skills: usage of oscilloscopes, basic circuit design, grounding + shielding
- Light-based optics experience
- Beam profiling, beam diagnostics
- Tolerance analysis of electron beam systems
Working at Atomic Semi Were an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and a lab/office in San Francisco, CA.
