https://amphiform.com/careers/ Amphiform (amphiform.com) is building next-gen energy materials for AI data centres, defence and space: light, abundant and powerful. We achieve that by creating a new type of matter: hybrid materials, built atomic layer by atomic layer, where every atom has a pre-programmed purpose. We just closed a $5.5M pre-seed led by General Catalyst and Main Object, with Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), Charlie Songhurst, and others.
About the role
You’ll own the path from a recipe that works once to a process that runs consistently, taking ALD/MLD into high-aspect-ratio, non-planar structures.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll do
- Take ALD and MLD processes from lab demonstration to repeatable manufacture: saturation windows, uniformity, defectivity, cycle time
- Define what “in spec” means for our films, and build the metrology and process control to hold it
- Own reactor qualification, tool matching, and maintenance strategy as we add capacity
- Throughput and cost directly: cycle time, precursor utilisation, cost
- Work with reactor vendors on tool specification and modification
- Work with our reactor team on tool specification and production

What we’re looking for
- You’ve owned an ALD deposition module and carried it through a production ramp. Module development engineer, thin film development engineer, or process development engineer.
- Experience with process windows, uniformity control, defect reduction and yield learning on real tools
- Experience specifying, qualifying, or modifying deposition hardware
Nice to have
- Conformal deposition into high-aspect-ratio or non-planar geometries
- Time at an equipment maker, a national lab or a chip manufacturer
- Catalysis or electrochemistry exposure
