    Arinna 3.6company rating

    Manufacturing engineer job in San Francisco, CA

    Arinna is building the energy core of Space 3.0 and frontier tech. We're pioneering ultra-light, power-dense solar platforms based on next-generation 2D semiconductors, enabling a step-change in how and where solar power can be deployed - from satellites and high-altitude aircraft to lunar and Martian infrastructure. Spun out of Stanford University, Arinna combines breakthroughs in materials science, device physics, and scalable manufacturing to deliver the most power-efficient and lightweight solar technology ever built. With over $370M in LOIs/off-take agreements and a clear roadmap from pilot (2026) to gigawatt-scale production by 2030, we're on a mission to power the next generation of space and terrestrial systems. We're backed by leading deep-tech investors and advised by industry pioneers. Our headquarters and pilot facility are in South San Francisco, CA, where we're scaling our team across R&D, manufacturing, and systems integration. About the role The Head of Manufacturing will be one of Arinna's first technical leaders and a key contributor to the design and scale‑up of our coating processes. You will transform lab‑scale ink formulations into uniform, functional thin films that form the foundation of Arinna's photovoltaic architecture. Your work will center on developing and optimizing slot‑die, blade, and related coating methods for solution‑processed semiconductors and charge‑transport layers. You'll collaborate closely with materials and device teams to link film quality to photovoltaic performance and guide the transition from R&D to pilot‑line production. What You'll Do Develop, refine, and scale solution-based coating protocols (slot-die, blade, micro-gravure, etc.) for multilayer PV films. Translate ink formulations into high-quality coatings with controlled wetting, drying, thickness, uniformity, and continuity. Characterize thin films for their optical (UV/Vis, ellipsometry, etc.), electrical (4-point probe, Hall effect measurement, kelvin probe, IV, etc.) and physical (AFM, SEM, profilometry, etc.) properties to guide process optimization. Study the influence of ink chemistry and rheology, substrate surface energy and ink wetting, drying kinetics, and post‑deposition processing on film continuity and performance. Collaborate with device and materials teams to link material inputs and deposition parameters to photovoltaic metrics (Jsc, Voc, FF, stability, etc.). Help design and scale experimental setups - including deposition/drying systems (IR/convection drying, air-knife systems, and web handling, etc.) as well as film characterization systems. Document process parameters, yield data, and continuous-improvement learnings in a reproducible framework. Contribute to safety, workflow, and process documentation as Arinna scales toward pilot‑line production. Qualifications M.S. or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field. 5+ years of hands‑on experience with solution‑processed thin‑film deposition (slot-die, blade, spin, or similar). Proven ability to produce continuous, uniform thin films ( Strong understanding of wetting, viscosity, solvent systems, and drying kinetics in thin‑film processing. Experience with photovoltaic or semiconductor thin‑film materials strongly preferred. Familiarity with scaling processes from lab to pilot and integrating process control and in‑line metrology. Comfort working in a startup R&D environment - self‑driven, experimental, and hands‑on with equipment. Excellent communication and data documentation skills; ability to work cross‑functionally with materials, process, and device teams. Experience leading high‑performing technical teams. What Defines Success at Arinna Excellence in Execution: You bring rigor, precision, and attention to detail to every experiment. Collaborative Energy: You elevate those around you through positive engagement and open communication. Candor and Trust: You communicate with clarity and integrity to enable faster iteration and collective learning. Curiosity and Adaptability: You embrace the unknown as an opportunity to explore, experiment, and improve. Mission Focus: You are motivated by impact and driven to help build technology that advances the clean energy future. #J-18808-Ljbffr

    Manufacturing engineer job in San Francisco, CA

    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 The positioning team is responsible for designing, prototyping and building semiconductor fab equipment and subsystems related to lithography, motion and metrology. About the role The electron optics engineer is a hands‑on design role that will be directly involved with prototyping and production of precision beam transport systems for Atomic Semi's custom semiconductor tooling. In this position, you would be applying optical theory to the charged particle domain to evaluate design concepts, and then taking them from white board to reality. We are seeking candidates with experience rapidly prototyping components for complex systems, and a first‑principles mindset to analysis and design. Expect working through difficult design challenges, rapid iteration, lab experiments/collection of data, debugging hardware, and making exciting discoveries. Responsibilities Design, analysis, and bring‑up of electron‑optical systems and related equipment including electron sources, lenses, detectors, beam steering, vacuum chambers, etc. Create innovative solutions utilizing novel electron optical techniques Electrostatics simulation, mechanical design, high vacuum, ray optics analysis. Gathering requirements for designs to facilitate successful bring up of new semiconductor tooling Interface with mechanical, electrical, manufacturing, and process engineers Required Experience A degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or something similar 2+ years of hands‑on work with precision electron or ion beam systems is required (designing, modeling, building, testing) 5+ years total experience working on complex hardware systems, either in industry or research A strong understanding of charged particle optics and electrostatic/magnetic fields Comfortable working with high vacuum systems - you know your way around chambers, pumps, and component selection Confident in mechanical CAD Nice to have Experience with electrostatics simulation tools like SIMION, COMSOL, CPO2D, CPO3D Electronics skills: usage of oscilloscopes, basic circuit design, grounding + shielding Light‑based optics experience Experience with beam profiling or diagnostics Have done tolerance analysis of electron beam systems Working at Atomic Semi We're an early‑stage hardware startup with solid funding, world‑class advisors, and a lab/office in San Francisco, CA. Compensation Atomic Semi is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $125,000 - $188,000.
