If you mean the microprocessor chip it was designed by Marcian Ted Hoff in 1971 and manufactured by Intel as the 4004.

If instead you mean the first digital IC chips used to build computers, I don't know who designed them but Texas Instruments made the chips (starting in 1962) for the Minuteman II guidance computer and Fairchild Semiconductor made the chips (starting in 1961) for the Apollo guidance computer.

That depends by what you mean by a computer. First a computer must be fully automatic (it must be capable of performing a complete calculation once the program is setup and the machine started, without further human intervention). However the computer may analog or digital, programmed by rewiring or program read one instruction from punched paper tape or stored program in memory or fixed unchangeable program or etc., implemented mechanically or electronically or hydraulically or etc., etc.
The first mechanical digital computer was created by Charles Babbage.
The first mechanical analog computers were created by many different people, but the first large well known was created by Vannevar Bush at MIT.
The first electronic digital computer was created Tommy Flowers at the British Post Office during WW2.

The first two computers to use monolithic IC chips were the Minuteman II guidance computer (1962 to 1970) and the Apollo Guidance Computer (1962 to 1975). At the time they were designed the price of the chips they used (which only contained 1 to 6 logic gates) was about $1000 per chip, by the time production of these computers was finished (roughly 1967) the price of the same chips had fallen to about $25 per chip due to improvements in fabrication methods driven by the demand of these two projects.

The rapidly declining price of monolithic IC chips over the period of the 1960s allowed many companies to introduce commercially available computers using monolithic IC chips,

The first computer to use microprocessor chips was the classified F-14 RADAR data processor in 1968 (this computer remained classified until sometime in the 1990s, so it does not appear in many books on computer history).

The first commercially available computer to use microprocessor chips was the Busicom 141-PF calculator, using the Intel 4004 microprocessor in 1971.

What is the job of the computer chip?

A computer chip is a common term for a microprocessor or a microcomputer that is on a single integrated circuit. For a computer chip to work, the first thing it needs to do is to receive information from the outside. It does this via the interfaces. At this point, it has to store the information within its memory. Thanks SolutionForTech WWW.SolutionForTech.Com

Who manufactured the first computer chip?

If you mean microprocessor then Intel is usually credited with the 4004. If you just mean the first digital IC used in a computer, probably Fairchild.
