Electromechanical Engineering Intern

About the role

We’re hiring electromechanical engineering interns for the fall term. You'll be working on an integrated engineering team building semiconductor fabrication equipment, so you’ll be exposed to some very interesting engineering problems. Our size allows interns to take on a ton of ownership and mission-critical work.

Our intern projects are highly interdisciplinary and span domains such as structures, optics, liquids, heat transfer, physics, and chemistry. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience working in at least one of these areas and strong mechanical and electrical fundamentals.

At Atomic Semi, 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! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of good engineering fundamentals (across MechE and EE) and/or some system integration experience (e.g. designing and building a medium-complexity electromechanical system.)

Responsibilities

Designing, prototyping, and building semiconductor fabrication equipment across system design (simulations, analysis), electrical design (board design and electronics), and mechanical design (CAD, etc.)

Working with other engineering teams to determine requirements. Your equipment is used in-house for chip fabrication, which means feedback loops are tight!

Manufacturing and building your designs (sourcing parts, fabrication, producing drawings, etc.)

Characterization of your system to close the loop (designing test setups for your designs and collecting data.)

Required qualifications

Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in engineering

Ability to learn quickly and troubleshoot technical problems

Hands-on prototyping experience and the ability to move through design cycles quickly

Hands-on experience with electromechanical assembly design and analysis from coursework, internships, or personal projects

Strong foundation in electrical engineering (KiCad/Altium, microcontrollers, embedded systems, digital circuits, etc.)

Strong foundation in mechanical engineering (Solidworks/Onshape, simulation, materials selection, etc.)

Desired qualifications

Familiarity with semiconductor processing— thin film deposition & etching, photolithography, etc.

Experience with Python scripting and data visualization 

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.
