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 This role sits on the Business Operations team, which is responsible for building the operational foundation that lets Atomic scale. We believe our internal systems should be as thoughtful and ambitious as the products we build. As we expand across multiple locations, we need to lay down critical IT and security groundwork. You will be the first person dedicated to this effort - setting up the policies, guidebooks, and physical IT infrastructure that will secure our future and set the company up for long-term success. About the role As a Security & IT Operations Analyst, you will help build the security, IT, and governance foundations that support our fast-moving engineering organization as we scale across new offices, growing teams, and increasingly complex systems. Sitting at the intersection of security operations, systems governance, and IT operations, you will take broad ownership of how Atomic Semi man
