Job description

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 role

We are looking for a Test Engineer to be the critical interface between every team at fab2. You will get to work across every tool we are building, applying a deeply scientific mindset to characterize tools, intuit potential problems, and diagnose complex failures.

This is a dedicated test and applications role. You'll know you've succeeded when you build and execute test plans that improve the design of our tools in your first month. By month 3, you will be autonomously solving highly complex problems for our positioning tools, and by month 6, your impact will scale across multiple teams and systems. Our philosophy is to get things built/tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is generally required to apply: show us the things you’ve built!

Responsibilities

Own the end-to-end characterization of tools, defining criteria to measure, running software tests, pushing the limits of our hardware, and logging failure to inform engineering decisions

Build software testing programs from scratch

Diagnose complex system errors by sitting down with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to map out problem matrices and track down root causes

Lead with rigorous and concise written and verbal communication

Set clear timelines and hold yourself and cross-functional teams accountable for rigorous documentation and testing standards

Required Experience

2 years of experience as a test engineer or applications engineer with a demonstrated command of best practices in finding and diagnosing errors

Ability to write code and create automated testing programs from scratch

Hands-on capability to build and run electrical tests

Strong mechanical intuition combined with a highly detail-oriented, scientific mindset

Clear, fast verbal and written communication skills to effectively interface across multiple engineering disciplines

Nice-to-have

Prior experience with mechanical design

PCB design experience

Working at fab2

We’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and labs/offices in Austin, TX, Lockhart, TX, and San Francisco, CA.

Compensation:

fab2 is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $105,000 – $195,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in fab2.

Benefits:

Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance

Generous Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time

Visa Sponsorship

Life and Disability Insurance

Paid Parental Leave

401(k) retirement plan

Weekly Learning & Development opportunities

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

We are an equal-opportunity employer and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, disability or other legally protected statuses.

Export Control Analysis:

This position involves access to technology that is subject to U.S. export controls. Any job offer made will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.
