What is a microcontroller programmer?

A Microcontroller Programmer is responsible for writing, testing, and debugging code for microcontrollers, which are small embedded systems used in various electronic devices. They typically work with programming languages like C and C++ and use development environments specific to different microcontroller families. Their role involves optimizing code for performance, integrating hardware components, and troubleshooting firmware issues. Microcontroller programmers are commonly employed in industries such as automotive, medical devices, robotics, and consumer electronics.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a microcontroller programmer?

Microcontroller Programmers typically spend their days writing, testing, and debugging firmware that runs on embedded devices. They often collaborate with hardware engineers to define system requirements, integrate new features, and troubleshoot issues that span both hardware and software. In addition to hands-on programming, they may be responsible for updating documentation, participating in team meetings, and reviewing code to ensure quality standards are met. This role frequently involves problem-solving, adapting to evolving project needs, and staying current with emerging microcontroller technologies.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the microcontroller programmer position, and why are they important?

A Microcontroller Programmer should have a solid background in embedded systems, C/C++ programming, and microcontroller architectures, usually supported by a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with development tools like IDEs (e.g., MPLAB, Keil), debugging interfaces, and version control systems is essential, and certifications such as ARM Accredited Engineer can be advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate technical information clearly are valuable soft skills in this field. These competencies are crucial for developing reliable, efficient firmware solutions and effectively collaborating with hardware and systems engineering teams.

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’re hiring embedded software interns for the winter term to write the firmware and applications that run our fabs. The internship begins in January, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You’ll be working on an integrated engineering team building semiconductor fabrication equipment, so you’ll be exposed to some very interesting engineering problems. You’ll be bringing up high-performance tools with tight requirements in areas such as structures, optics, liquids, heat transfer, physics, and chemistry. You’ll be a good fit if you’re familiar with end-to-end system bring-up.

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 you’ve actually built! For us, a good portfolio includes evidence of software engineering excellence and curiosity.

Responsibilities
  • Develop real-time linux applications and microcontroller firmware in Rust for controlling semiconductor fabrication equipment
  • Build backend systems for capturing and analyzing semiconductor process data
Required Experience
  • Pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree or higher in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or similar field
  • Proficiency in Python/C/C++
  • Low level systems programming experience and good understanding of embedded systems and OS concepts (Linux/RTOS)
  • Microcontroller programming experience, knowledge of microcontroller peripherals such as ADC, GPIO, PWM, SPI and I2C
Nice-to-have
  • Familiarity with electronics and feedback control systems
  • Proficiency in Rust
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 $114,000–$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 applicant’s capacity to serve in compliance with U.S. export controls.
