What does a fab do?

A 'Fab' generally refers to a fabrication facility, especially in the semiconductor industry, where microchips and electronic components are manufactured. A person working in a Fab, often called a Fab technician or operator, is responsible for operating and maintaining the specialized equipment used to create integrated circuits. Their tasks may include monitoring production processes, troubleshooting equipment, and ensuring quality control standards are met. Working in a Fab typically involves cleanroom environments to prevent contamination and may require shift work to keep production running continuously.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a fab technician, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Fab Technician, you need a solid understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes, equipment maintenance, and typically an associate degree or higher in electronics, engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with cleanroom protocols, process control systems, and tools like SEM (scanning electron microscopes) and automated test equipment is essential. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and effective teamwork distinguish top performers in this role. These skills are vital to maintain high yields, prevent costly errors, and support the complex, precise demands of semiconductor fabrication.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals working in a semiconductor fabrication (Fab) environment?

Working in a Fab environment often involves strict adherence to cleanroom protocols and safety standards, which can be a significant adjustment for new employees. The work is highly collaborative, requiring close coordination with engineers, technicians, and quality control teams to ensure smooth production of semiconductor wafers. Common challenges include troubleshooting complex equipment, meeting tight production deadlines, and adapting to rapidly evolving technology. However, these challenges can also provide valuable learning opportunities and a strong foundation for career growth within the semiconductor industry.

What is the difference between Fab vs Technician?

AspectFabTechnician
Required CredentialsAssociate degree or technical certification in semiconductor manufacturingHigh school diploma or technical training, sometimes an associate degree
Work EnvironmentCleanroom environment in semiconductor fabrication plantsManufacturing or maintenance areas, often in clean or controlled environments
Industry UsagePrimarily in semiconductor and electronics manufacturingIn various manufacturing sectors, including electronics, machinery, and industrial equipment
Job FocusOperating and monitoring fabrication equipmentMaintaining, troubleshooting, and repairing equipment

The main difference between a Fab and a Technician is that a Fab typically refers to a semiconductor fabrication process or environment, while a Technician is a role focused on maintaining and repairing equipment within that environment. Fabs are the facilities where chips are made, and Technicians work within these facilities to ensure smooth operations.

Job description

About fab2

The fab2 team can build anything. We design all the hardware and software needed to make chips and we make the fabs, tools, and components ourselves.

We're looking for exceptional, hands-on people who can iterate to the limits of what's possible.

fab2 was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller. 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 are seeking Software Engineering Interns to work on the Fab team for the winter term. The internship begins in January, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You will build full-stack applications, tools, and infrastructure for a software-defined semiconductor fab.

This is a deeply broad, multi-domain, hands-on role. You'll work on control of semiconductor fabrication equipment, and data analysis of semiconductor process development. The software you build will help engineers develop and operate the fab. If youโ€™re excited by building complex features from scratch, and learning new domains quickly, this is a great place to grow.

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 youโ€™ve actually built! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of software engineering excellence and curiosity.

Responsibilities
  • Develop frontend + backend, data driven applications to run the fab

  • Build software for sequencing and controlling fab operations

Required Experience
  • Pursuing a BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or demonstrated exceptional skill in software engineering

  • Strong programming skills in Rust and Go or Typescript plus a strong desire to learn

  • Solid understanding of systems fundamentals: memory, performance, concurrency

  • Experience building non-trivial software projects from scratch (personal, academic, or professional)

  • Interest in one or more of the following areas: databases, visualization, data processing pipelines

Nice-to-have
  • Experience with interactive software such as Figma, Blender, CAD tools, KiCad, or scientific computing environments

  • Familiarity with schema evolution, database migrations, or serialization formats like Protobuf

  • Understanding of collaborative or distributed systems (e.g., CRDTs, OT, WebSockets)

  • Appreciation for texts such as Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs and Designing Data-Intensive Applications: The Big Ideas Behind Reliable, Scalable, and Maintainable Systems

  • Exposure to advanced 2D/3D visualization, simulation, or novel user interfaces

Working at fab2

We're an early-stage hardware startup with solid funding, world-class advisors, and offices in Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA. fab2 is committed to fair and equitable compensation. Software Interns are paid hourly, at a rate equivalent to an annualized range of $114,000โ€“$131,000 depending on experience and education. Actual earnings vary with 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.

Export Control Analysis

This position involves access to technology that is subject to U.S. export controls. Any job offer made will be contingent upon the applicantโ€™s capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.
