Develops opto-electronic AI hardware accelerators
We’re looking for a hands-on MEMS Fabrication Engineer to contribute to design, process development, characterization, and productization of a novel micro-scale actuator platform. This role spans multi-physics modeling, microfabrication, and depending on experience, transition to high volume manufacturing. As an early hire, you will directly shape the core architecture and manufacturing strategy.
Design & Simulation: Build and refine multi-physics models with emphasis on electromechanical and fluid behavior
Process Development: Invent and iterate custom, non-standard MEMS process flows from first principles; define and manage Pareto trade spaces across performance, yield, and manufacturability.
Microfabrication: Contribute to end-to-end fabrication, including patterning, surface engineering, thin-film deposition and etching.
Characterization: Validate designs using destructive and non-destructive techniques, including SEM, C–V measurements, and accelerated stress testing.
Experience: 3+ years of hands-on micro-fabrication experience and multi-physics modeling.
Core technical skills:
Deep understanding of thin-film deposition using physical and chemical methods (PVD, CVD, ALD etc)
Strong materials science fundamentals: mechanical behavior, thin-film stress, adhesion, electrochemistry
Demonstrated experience inventing and scaling new fabrication processes, with attention to yield, repeatability, and failure modes
Practical understanding of fluid dynamics and microfluidic behavior as it relates to microfabrication and device performance
What we value:
Strong problem-solving abilities with a first-principles approach to complex challenges
Clear communication and strong ownership in a startup setting
Genuine enthusiasm for robotics and physically intelligent systems
A builder mindset: rapid iteration, learning from failure, and shipping real hardware
Pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience
