fab2 builds the hardware and software needed to make chips, fabs, tools, and components. Backed by Eclipse Ventures.
About the role
The Embedded Software Lead for Vacuum Systems manages the engineers responsible for these systems and owns the software architecture from prototyping through production. You will lead the technical direction and implement real-time control software for deposition and etch tools. Own firmware architecture and roadmap for deposition and etch tools and their components: MFCs, pumps, pressure controllers, valve manifolds, heaters, and gas delivery
What they're looking for
- BS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- 7+ years developing microcontroller firmware for electromechanical devices in shipped products
- 2+ years leading or managing firmware engineers
- Deep background in real-time controls with experience implementing sensing, timing-critical control loops, diagnostics, and communication interfaces
- Proficiency in C for embedded targets, Python for tooling and analysis
- Experience with a real-time operating system and standard MCU interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN)
More about this role
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.
The tool software group builds the control software and firmware for fab2’s in-house semiconductor manufacturing equipment. The Vacuum Systems software team owns the Linux software and real-time embedded microcontroller firmware for our deposition and etching tools which includes the components they are built from: mass flow controllers, pumps, pressure and gas control, valves, and heaters.
