About fab2 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. About the Team The tool software group builds Linux control software and microcontroller firmware for fab2’s in-house semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
This includes software for sensing, real-time microcontroller firmware, closed loop controls, sequencing, recipe execution, interlocks, operator user interfaces, and diagnostics. About the Role You will build computer vision software for lithography and metrology on semiconductor manufacturing equipment. This includes modeling optical systems and developing nanometer-scale alignment (fiducials, calibration methods) through iteration on real hardware.
You will also develop vision systems for wafer-handling and process automation equipment. Additionally, you will work on post-lithography metrology, including defect detection and optical proximity correction (OPC) modeling. You will work closely with full-stack, mechanical, electrical, optical, and process engineers on cross-functional problems.
We are open to a range of experience levels, from early-career to experienced engineers. The most importa
