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. 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 fab2 production team manufactures chip fabs. From deposition and etching tools to lithography and metrology, we are building every tool ourselves. We fabricate the metal parts, operate SMT lines to build PCBAs, and assemble the tools in-house.
About the Role
At fab2 we design and build everything ourselves, from chambers, gas lines, and valves to etch, deposition, and lithography tools to complete fabs. As Manager, Materials Management, you will own the physical flow of material from the receiving dock to the production floor. You will build the receiving, inventory, storage, kitting, and replenishment systems needed to keep every build supplied as production scales.

Establish storage locations, supermarkets, lineside inventory, and point-of-use replenishment.
•
Maintain accurate quantities, locations, revisions, lot numbers, serial numbers, and material status in our ERP/MES.
•
Develop cycle-counting processes and find and fix the root causes of inventory discrepancies.
•
Design material flow from receiving through storage, assembly, test, and finished goods.
•
Define material-handling and packaging standards for sensitive, cleanroom, and high-value components.
•
Work with Sourcing & Planning to prioritize incoming material and resolve shortages affecting production.
•
Work with Manufacturing to improve inventory, kitting, and material-flow workflows in our ERP/MES.
•
Track inventory accuracy, dock-to-stock time, kit completeness, shortage aging, and lineside availability.
•
Hire, train, and lead inventory specialists, materials specialists, and receiving and kitting personnel as the team grows.
•
Support the launch and operation of materials areas across Fab2 sites.
