Full Job Description
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 team The Lab Operations Technician is a part of the overall Process Team that sits at the heart of our in-house device development, driving the design of each new generation of tools. This is unlike any role at a traditional foundry—we simultaneously develop recipes, apply novel materials, test and characterize our chips, and troubleshoot tools. About the role We're looking for a Lab Operations Technician to keep our lab running smoothly day-to-day. You'll handle the essential work that keeps experiments moving: cleaning and maintaining glassware, restocking chemicals and consumables, managing chemical inventory, changing out gas cylinders, and keeping supplies stocked across the lab. Responsibilities - Clean and maintain lab glassware and equipment using appropriate protocols (solvent rinses, acid baths, ultrasonic cleaners, etc.) - Manage chemical inventory: receiving, labeling, tracking, proper storage, and di
