Electrical Engineering Intern - Winter

About The Role

We’re hiring Electrical Engineering Interns for the winter term. The internship begins in January, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. We’re rebuilding the chip fabrication process from the ground up, so you’ll be exposed to some really interesting and impactful work. You will work closely with other engineers to develop lithography systems, deposition tools, vacuum chambers, nanometer precision motion control, plasma etching systems, and related tools. You’ll be expected to identify problems, prototype solutions, productionize your prototypes, and deliver finished solutions that will revolutionize IC manufacturing.

Responsibilities

• Design PCBAs and electrical systems for our machines, driving the end-to-end process including schematic capture, layout, bringup, testing, integration, and documentation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with software, mechanical, and process teams to gather system requirements, performing independent investigations to define targets where requirements are ambiguous or missing.
• Investigate optimal design approaches and perform detailed analysis and simulations to evaluate electrical designs, weighing off-the-shelf components against custom solutions.
