System Engineering (Mechanical)

We design all the hardware and software needed to make chips and we make the fabs, tools, and components ourselves.

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 make lithography, metrology and motion systems that pattern, inspect and characterize our chips in order to push our process to lower nodes.
We are seeking a highly skilled and hands-on Mechanical Engineer to join our team. You will be responsible for designing, prototyping, and building the mechanical systems in our semiconductor fabrication equipment, from stages and frames up to complete systems.
Design and iterate on precision machines, motion stages, structural loops, metrology frames, opto-mechanical mounts, test fixtures, and inspection tooling targeting sub-micron to nanometer performance
Lead mechanical system integration, alignment procedures, and cross-team coordination with electrical, controls, and optics engineers
Drive mechanical design of frames, stages, and assemblies with GD&T, tolerance analysis, and a practical eye toward manufacturability and assembly
Rapidly prototype, build and characterize new designs on the bench using a variety of tools and characterization equipment
3 years designing and building precision mechanical systems that had to hit real accuracy and repeatability targets
Working fluency in precision machine design fundamentals: exact-constraint design, kinematic couplings, flexures, error budgeting, structural loops, tolerance analysis
Hands-on prototyping, fabrication, assembly, and alignment experience — you're comfortable on a mill, on a granite surface plate, and behind an interferometer
Formal training in precision engineering
Familiarity with firmware, controls, or electrical engineering
Opto-mechanical design and alignment experience
Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in fab2.
Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
Generous Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time
Visa Sponsorship
Life and Disability Insurance
401(k) retirement plan
Commuter Benefits including Parking and Late Night Uber rides from the office
Lunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts
