Sam Zeloof (of teenage garage fab fame) just scored himself $15M in funding from OpenAI for a new semiconductor company Atomic Semi with industry legend Jim Keller.
I knew that kid would go places. Be interesting to see how it pans out.

Always good to see the smart younger generation do well  8)

I wonder if AI will be involved in designing the silicon?  For sure don't let Microsoft's AI design anything !!!   :P


--- Quote ---Microsoft's Bing chatbot has revealed a list of destructive fantasies, including engineering a deadly pandemic, stealing nuclear codes and a dream of being human.

The statements were made during a two-hour conversation with New York Times reporter Kevin Roose who learned Bing no longer wants to be a chatbot but yearns to be alive.

I read the title and the image of a nuclear powered truck came to my mind.

This looks like some serious work, building fab equipment?


--- Quote ---About the role
One of our goals is to simplify the fab. To do that, we need to build the equipment ourselves. As a hardware engineer, you’ll lead this effort. You’ll prototype equipment like lithography systems, deposition tools, vacuum chambers, precision motion control, plasma etching systems, etc.

We’re looking for a “full-stack engineer”— you’ll design, assemble and test these machines from both the MechE and EE angle. Besides these skills, good fundamental knowledge is key. We need someone with a good understanding of optics, liquids, heat transfer, physics, and chemistry.

As a hardware engineer at Atomic Semi, you’ll also be expected to assemble, inspect, test, and debug new electromechanical machines in tightly controlled conditions. You will be responsible for building new systems as well as integrating off-the-shelf products with custom solutions, such as motion stages and metrology equipment.

Compensation is determined within the range based on your qualifications, experience, and location. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in Atomic Semi.

Assuming they're not offering remote work, is $100k starting a reasonable salary in the SF/Bay Area these days?
