The posting

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 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

- 3-10 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

Compensation: fab2 is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $120,000 – $200,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in fab2.

- Visa Sponsorship

- Life and Disability Insurance

- Paid Parental Leave

- 401(k) retirement plan

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.
