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 https://www.youtube.com/@SamZeloof and Jim Keller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Keller_(engineer). 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 fab2 production team manufactures chip fabs. From deposition and etching tools to lithography and metrology, we are building every tool ourselves. We fabricate the metal parts, operate SMT lines to build PCBAs, and assemble the tools in-house.

About the Role At fab2 we design and build everything ourselves, from chambers, gas lines, and valves to etch, deposition, and lithography tools to complete fabs. As Manager, Materials Management, you will own the physical flow of material from the receiving dock to the production floor. You will build the receiving, inventory, storage, kitting, and replenishment systems needed to keep every build supplied as production scales.

- Ensure material is received, inspected, transacted, stored, and available to production on time.

- Build complete kits for components, tools, and fabs against the production schedule.

- Establish storage locations, supermarkets, lineside inventory, and point-of-use replenishment.

- Maintain accurate quantities, locations, revisions, lot numbers, serial numbers, and material status in our ERP/MES.

- Develop cycle-counting processes and find and fix the root causes of inventory discrepancies.

- Design material flow from receiving through storage, assembly, test, and finished goods.

- Define material-handling and packaging standards for sensitive, cleanroom, and high-value components.

- Work with Sourcing & Planning to prioritize incoming material and resolve shortages affecting production.

- Work with Manufacturing to improve inventory, kitting, and material-flow workflows in our ERP/MES.

- Track inventory accuracy, dock-to-stock time, kit completeness, shortage aging, and lineside availability.

- Hire, train, and lead inventory specialists, materials specialists, and receiving and kitting personnel as the team grows.

- Support the launch and operation of materials areas across Fab2 sites.

Required Experience

- 5+ years in materials management, inventory control, warehousing, logistics, or manufacturing operations.

- Experience leading receiving, inventory, kitting, or material-handling teams in a production environment.

- Track record maintaining high inventory accuracy and improving material availability to production.

- Experience developing warehouse layouts, storage systems, cycle-counting programs, and lineside replenishment.

- Fluency with ERP, MRP, WMS, or MES inventory systems.

- Ability to read BOMs, drawings, part numbers, and revision-controlled manufacturing documentation.

Nice-to-have

- Experience with semiconductor equipment, aerospace, robotics, automotive, or complex electromechanical systems.

- Experience supporting production as it scales from prototype builds to recurring or high-volume manufacturing.

- Familiarity with cleanroom material handling, lot traceability, serialized components, and controlled inventory.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
