Electrical Engineering Intern, High Frequency Power Electronics - Winter

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 looking for an enthusiastic RF power engineering intern who can rapidly develop compact RF systems from gathering requirements to the production stage. The internship begins in January, with the option for preferably a 4 to 8-month commitment. You will get to own entire RF power systems while working closely with other engineers to enable small and fast semiconductor plasma systems. You will be exposed to many diverse problems and will need to move through design cycles quickly.

Our philosophy is to get things built and tested in days or weeks, not months. Because of this, a portfolio is required to apply : show us the things you’ve actually built! If you’ve shipped a medium-to-high complexity system through a personal project or previous internship, you’d be a good fit here.
