Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Austin, TX

Design, prototype, build, and validate turbomachinery and vacuum-system equipment for semiconductor fabrication. Responsibilities include mechanical design of frames, components, and assemblies; integrating electromechanical systems; partnering with process, electrical, software, and production teams; sourcing components; and delivering machined and fabricated metal parts into working systems.

Designs, prototypes, validates, and scales specialized semiconductor fabrication equipment and vacuum-system subsystems. Responsibilities include creating mechanical frames, components, and assemblies; integrating mechanical, electrical, optical, and software systems; sourcing components; collaborating with vendors and cross-functional teams; and owning designs through production. The role requires hands-on experience building complex systems, vacuum or fluid-handling expertise, and strong fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat-transfer fundamentals.

Own day-to-day office operations across multiple sites, including supplies, meals, furniture, onboarding logistics, facilities coordination, mail, couriers, vendors, and company events. The Office Manager will maintain office infrastructure, support guests and new hires, coordinate with IT, People Ops, and Facilities, and improve workplace systems and experiences in a fast-growing hardware startup.

Design, prototype, assemble, align, test, and debug precision optical and optomechanical systems for semiconductor lithography, metrology, and motion applications. Perform optical modeling, tolerance analysis, ray tracing, stray-light analysis, and Monte Carlo yield prediction. Integrate motion stages and metrology equipment, design lens mounts, source components, and collaborate with suppliers. The role requires hands-on optical alignment, testing, mechanical CAD, and rapid hardware prototyping.

Leads software systems for manufacturing, testing, calibrating, and provisioning semiconductor equipment. Designs automated test and calibration systems, develops C, Python, and Rust production software, firmware test modes, flashing tools, and test-station applications. Partners with manufacturing engineers, maintains coding and testing standards, conducts code reviews, and hires and mentors team members.

Lead the firmware team responsible for semiconductor vacuum systems, owning architecture and roadmap from prototype through production. Design real-time control software in C and Rust, develop Python tooling, implement safety interlocks and diagnostics, support hardware bring-up and system integration, build validation infrastructure, investigate failures, and mentor and hire engineers.

Own end-to-end software integration for semiconductor manufacturing equipment, from prototype through production. Develop control software and firmware, lead hardware bring-up and debugging, integrate electronics, actuators, sensors, and software, and perform system-level testing and root-cause analysis. The role also involves requirements definition, FMEA participation, data analysis, systems engineering, milestone tracking, and cross-functional coordination across firmware, electrical, mechanical, and process teams.

Electrical Engineering Interns design and build PCBAs and electrical systems for semiconductor fabrication equipment. Responsibilities include schematic capture, layout, bringup, testing, integration, documentation, requirements definition, design analysis, simulation, component selection, prototyping, troubleshooting, and productionizing solutions. Interns collaborate with software, mechanical, and process engineering teams on lithography, deposition, vacuum, motion control, and plasma etching systems.

Infrastructure and Site Reliability Engineering Intern responsible for building and managing on-premises backend infrastructure for a semiconductor fab. Duties include infrastructure-as-code, server fleet management, monitoring, alerting, automation, secret management, performance optimization, and production debugging. The role emphasizes Linux, systems programming, reliability, observability, and close collaboration with engineering teams. A portfolio demonstrating software engineering projects is required.

Develop real-time Linux and Rust applications for semiconductor fabrication equipment. Design algorithms and simulations for robotic control systems, improve robot efficiency, and contribute to interdisciplinary projects involving motor controllers, path planning, and trajectory control. Interns receive significant ownership of mission-critical hardware and software initiatives and must provide a portfolio demonstrating software engineering work and projects built.
