Electrical Engineering Intern, High Frequency Power Electronics - Fall

About this role

About Fab2

Fab2 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.

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’re hiring a RF Power Engineering Intern for the fall term. The internship begins in September, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. We’re rebuilding the chip fabrication process from the ground up, so you’ll be exposed to some really interesting and impactful work. You will rapidly develop and test the compact RF systems inside our fabrication tools. You’ll be expected to identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that will revolutionize IC manufacturing.

Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is required to apply: show us the things you’ve actually built! If you’ve shipped a medium-to-high complexity system through a personal project or previous internship, you’d be a good fit here.

- Contribute to the design of complete RF power systems from architecture to schematic to layout

- Ensure accurate RF power diagnostics and metrology

- Collaborate with engineers and scientists to gather system requirements

- Help define of firmware requirements

- Source components and lead manufacturing effort

Required Experience

- Experience building of RF systems

- RF resonant power amplifier design in the 100s of Watts range

- RF power measurement sensor design

- Hands on prototyping and testing

- Cable harness design, documentation, and fabrication

Nice-to-have

- Advanced degree in power electronics or related field

- Plasma systems experience

- Systems engineering and integration
