About this role

Process Development Engineer Menlo Park, California, United States About Periodic Labs The most important scientific discoveries of our time won't happen in a traditional lab. We're an AI and physical sciences company building state-of-the-art models to accelerate breakthroughs across materials, energy, and beyond. Backed by world-class investors and growing rapidly, we operate at the pace the frontier requires. Our team brings deep expertise, genuine ownership, and an insatiable drive to push the boundaries of what's scientifically possible. About the Role As a Process Development Engineer, you will play a crucial role in designing and optimizing the workflows and tools that enable high-efficiency process technologies, primarily for the semiconductor industry. You will contribute to lab design and expansion, define hardware engineering specs, perform hardware characterization, and troubleshoot complex engineering issues. You will also be hands-on in establishing and standardizing process flows, generating and analyzing data, creating technical documentation, and engaging with customers to ensure alignment between lab capabilities and market needs. In this role, you will experiment, learn, and collaborate daily with internal teams spanning AI/ML, simulation, automation, and physics/chemistry to build scalable solutions for high-value problems. What You'll Do - Process Engineering: Bring structure to unstructured workflows by establishing process control metrics. Conduct complex design of experiments (DOE), define recipe structures from scratch, implement statistical process control (SPC) and fault detection and classification (FDC), and extend these practices across a wide range of equipment. - Lab Development: Contribute to the design, construction, and scale-up of an AI-accelerated thin-film and semiconductor
