About Atomic Semi

Atomic Semi is building a small, fast semiconductor fab.

It’s already possible to build this with today’s technology and a few simplifications. We’ll build the tools ourselves so we can quickly iterate and improve.

We’re building a small team of exceptional, hands-on engineers to make this happen. Mechanical, electrical, hardware, computer, and process. We’ll own the stack from atoms to architecture. Our team is optimistic about the future and we want to continue pushing the limits of technology.

Smaller is better. Faster is better. Building it ourselves is better.

We believe our team and lab can build anything. We’ve set up 3D printers, a wide array of microscopes, e-beam writers, general fabrication equipment - and whatever is missing, we’ll just invent along the way.

Atomic 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 team

Atomic Semi is a hardware company building physical tools, machines and devices. The operations team is responsible for keeping things running smoothly and supporting research and engineering across areas such as facilities, business operations, and finance.

About the role

We love our office (in Potrero Hill, San Francisco) and we’ve spent a lot of effort making it wonderful. The officer manager position is responsible for keeping things running and continuously improving our working environment.

For solely office management tasks, this is a part-time role for 15-25 hours per week. However, we’re a complex operation and there’s a lot to get done. If you’re open to taking on more than strictly office management tasks, your role could grow to a full-time position, and could include:

• Business operations (finance and book-keeping related tasks, scheduling, preparing documents, briefs and performing research)

• Lab management (stocking the lab, maintaining machines and managing lab logistics)

• Technician/science assistance (operating semiconductor fabrication equipment, measuring and inspecting parts, assembling machines and electronics)

You must be able to be on-site in Potrero Hill, San Francisco, for at least two days per week, and ideally five.

Responsibilities

• General office management tasks

  • Organizing kitchen/office

  • Stocking fridge/kitchen

  • Scheduling deliveries

  • Reordering when supplies are low

  • Shipping and receiving

  • Watering and maintaining plants

• Suggesting and making improvements to the processes above for smoother operations

• Your responsibilities could grow to include business operations, lab management or technician tasks if you display the required skills

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience showing good organizational ability and dependability with a set of responsibilities

• Interest in office management and general administration work

Nice-to-haves:

• Experience in an office management, facilities or operations position

• Ability to “figure it out”— to take on more complex tasks, there often isn’t a “right answer” or instruction manual

• Good computer skills

• Interest in science, engineering or nanofabrication/chips!
