Embedded Software Engineering Intern - Fall

Embedded Software Engineering Intern - Fall About Atomic Semi Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab. It’s already possible to build this with today’s technology and a few simplifications. We’ll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve. We’re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We’ll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology. Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better. We believe our team and lab can build anything. We’ve set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, we’ll just invent along the way. Atomic 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’re hiring Embedded Software Engineering Interns for the fall term. The internship begins in September, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You’ll be working on an integrated engineering team building semiconductor fabrication equipment, so you’ll be exposed to some very interesting engineering problems. You’ll be bringing up high-performance tools with tight requirements in areas such as structures, optics, liquids, heat transfer, physics, and chemistry. You’ll be a good fit if you’re familiar with end-to-end system bring-up. Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio (can be your GitHub) is required to apply: show us the things you’ve actually built! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of software engineering excellence and curiosity. Responsibilities - Develop real-time linux applications and microcontroller firmware in Rust for controlling semiconductor fabrication equipment - Build backend systems for capturing and analyzing semiconductor process data Required Experience - Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or similar field - Proficiency in Python/C/C++ - Low level systems programming experience and good understanding of embedded systems and OS concepts (Linux/RTOS) - Microcontroller programming experience, knowledge of microcontroller peripherals such as ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI and I2C Nice-to-have - Familiarity with electronics and feedback control systems - Proficiency in Rust Working at Atomic Semi We’re an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and a lab/office in San Francisco, CA. Atomic Semi is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. Software Interns are paid an hourly rate equivalent to an annualized range of $110,000-132,000, depending on experience and education level. This range assumes a 40-hour workweek and includes up to 10 hours of pre-approved weekly overtime, paid at 1.5x the base hourly rate. Actual earnings will vary depending on internship length and hours worked. Internship Benefits: - Housing Stipend to help with first month expenses - Lunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts - Weekly Learning & Development opportunities - Commuter Benefits including Parking and Late Night Uber rides from the office - Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time - Visa Sponsorship - Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance - 401(k) retirement plan - Life and Disability Insurance 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.
