We design all the hardware and software needed to make chips and we make the fabs, tools, and components ourselves.\n\nWe're looking for exceptional, hands-on people who can iterate to the limits of what's possible.\n\nfab2 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.\nAbout the team\nThe Tool Software team builds the software that runs fab2's semiconductor fabrication tools. We work across the stack, from microcontroller firmware and real-time control to Linux applications for calibration, diagnostics, simulation, build/release infrastructure, and over-the-air deployment.\nOur software sits close to the hardware and directly affects tool performance, uptime, process repeatability, and fab throughput. We partner closely with electrical, mechanical, process, and fab teams to bring new equipment online and scale it into production.\nAbout the role\nYou will build production Rust software for semiconductor fabrication equipment: the systems that help turn precise software instructions into real physical processes.\nYour work will integrate with microcontroller-based systems to sequence and control fabrication processes. You will also build the software capabilities behind a modern, software-defined fab, including calibration, diagnostics, telemetry, and tool operation.\nThis is a hands-on systems role for someone who wants their Rust code running close to the hardware, controlling complex equipment, and directly shaping how chips get made.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and implement real-time Linux applications for equipment control and process automation\nDesign and implement finite state machines for tool operation\nDevelop data acquisition, telemetry, and metrology software, including computer vision and image processing\nImplement gRPC services and Protocol Buffer APIs\nBuild graphical interfaces for operations, diagnostics, and data visualization\nOwn major features end-to-end alongside hardware and process engineering partners\nRequired Experience\nBS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent practical experience\nStrong proficiency in Rust for systems-level Linux applications\nHands-on Python experience in data analysis, computer vision, diagnostics, or scientific computing\nTrack record shipping Linux application software such as daemons, services, IPC, and real-time or near-real-time systems\nSolid operating systems fundamentals, including memory management, performance, and concurrency\nFamiliarity with gRPC and protobuf, or comparable RPC and serialization frameworks\nExperience working across different projects, technical domains, and engineering disciplines\nNice-to-have\nBackground in semiconductors, industrial automation, manufacturing, or other hardware-intensive domains\nFamiliarity with embedded Linux (Yocto or Buildroot)\nExperience with application performance profiling and optimization across CPU, memory, and latency\nInterest in applied math, linear algebra, numerical methods, or scientific computing\nFamiliarity with failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), or similar reliability-focused design practices\nFamiliarity with microcontroller firmware\nWorking at fab2\nWe’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and lab/offices.\nCompensation: fab2 is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $105,000 – $170,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in fab2.\nBenefits: fab2 offers the following benefits, subject to applicable eligibility requirements:\nMedical, Dental, and Vision insurance\nGenerous Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time\nVisa Sponsorship\nLife and Disability Insurance\nPaid Parental Leave\n401(k) retirement plan\nWeekly Learning & Development opportunities\nCommuter Benefits including Parking and Late Night Uber rides from the office\nLunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts\nWe 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.\nExport Control Analysis: This position involves access to technology that is subject to U.S. export controls.
