Job description

About fab2

The fab2 team can build anything. We design all the hardware and software needed to make chips and we make the fabs, tools, and components ourselves. We're looking for exceptional, hands‑on people who can iterate to the limits of what's possible.

fab2 was founded by Sam Zeloof and Jim Keller.

About the team

As a part of the overall Business Operations team, the Business Ops Generalist plays a key role in helping to build and run the operational foundation that lets Atomic scale. The Business Operations team helps to ensure consistency and reliability in a fast‑moving startup environment. The Business Operations team supports all major scopes within the company, including but not limited to: finance & accounting; legal; HR; IT; compliance; People Ops & HR; Facilities; IT. No task is too small. If it needs doing, the Business Operations team does it.

About the role

We believe our operational systems should be as thoughtful and ambitious as the products we build. We have solid foundations with financial infrastructure, business systems, and core processes in place across the company. This is a role for someone who doesn't want to copy a playbook but help write one; someone who sees around corners, helps the people around them make better decisions, and takes genuine ownership of hard, open‑ended problems. If you're energized by variety, motivated by mission, and excited to build something that's never been done before, this role is for you.

This person should be equally comfortable owning the details and thinking about the bigger picture. You'll work across Finance, Legal, Compliance, HR, Operations, Facilities, IT, and more as a trusted partner. One week you might be closing the books or designing a reporting workflow with an engineering team; the next you're helping Legal stand up a compliance process or coordinating a facilities project.

Responsibilities

• Own projects end-to-end and cross-functionally across Finance, Accounting, Legal, Compliance, HR, Operations, Facilities, and IT
• Maintain and improve financial operations including budgeting, expense management, and reporting using tools like Excel, QuickBooks, Ramp, and ERP systems
• Support legal and compliance workflows like contract management, policy documentation, regulatory tracking, etc.
• Be a trusted, proactive business partner to teams across the company by helping them structure problems, surface inputs they may not have considered, and reach well-informed decisions
• Identify processes that won't scale, propose solutions, and lead implementation; from defining requirements and building alignment to automating workflows and standing up new systems
• Keep projects organized and stakeholders aligned using tools like Linear, Notion, or Confluence

Required Experience

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
• 2+ years in investment banking, management consulting, private equity, internal operations at a high‑growth startup, or technical program management — we care more about what you've built and owned than your exact title or background
• Strong foundation in GAAP, budgeting, expense management, and financial reporting, with hands‑on experience in tools like Excel, QuickBooks, Ramp, or ERP systems
• At least one significant, multi-component project you fully owned end-to-end
• Proven ability to manage complex, multi‑stakeholder projects on tight timelines
• Genuine excitement to work across many domains with a builder's mindset
• Strong quantitative and communication skills, with advanced Excel proficiency (financial modeling, pivot tables, power query)
• Self‑motivated, highly accountable, and energized by a fast‑moving environment

Nice‑to‑have

• Experience at a company with a physical product such as hardware, industrials, manufacturing, or similar; operations look meaningfully different when atoms are involved
• Background in engineering, technical program management, or a highly cross‑functional technical role
• Experience in legal, compliance, HR, or IT
• Startup or high‑growth experience where you've had to build from scratch

Working at Atomic Semi

We’re an early‑stage hardware startup with solid funding, world‑class advisors, and a lab/office in Austin, TX and San Francisco, CA.

Compensation

Atomic Semi is committed to fair and equitable compensation practices. The annual salary range for this role is $105,000 – $125,000. Compensation is determined based on your qualifications and experience. Our total compensation package also includes generous equity in Atomic Semi.

Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Generous Paid Time Off inclusive of Holidays and Sick Time
• Visa Sponsorship
• Life and Disability Insurance
• Paid Parental Leave
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Weekly Learning & Development opportunities
• Commuter Benefits including Parking and Late Night Uber rides from the office
• Lunches daily, Dinners 3x per week, Stocked Office Kitchen with Snacks and Spindrifts
