Company

hirify.global develops and manufactures semiconductor technologies and foundry platforms.

What you will do

• Define and advance foundry roadmaps for superconducting qubits, SFQ-family digital logic, cryogenic control and readout, parametric amplifiers, interconnects, and packaging.
• Translate customer and system requirements into materials, process flows, device structures, design rules, PDK content, test vehicles, and acceptance criteria.
• Lead process integration, experiments, simulations, tape-outs, cryogenic characterization, technology transfer, qualification, and new-product introduction.
• Build and govern development programs with customers, universities, research organizations, government laboratories, suppliers, and startups.
• Lead multidisciplinary engineering and program teams while managing quality, schedules, budgets, risks, customer commitments, and executive communications.
• Drive foundry operational improvements through cycle-time reduction, SPC, control plans, manufacturing systems, process quality, and schedule-risk reduction.

Requirements

• MS or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related discipline.
• 15+ years of experience in semiconductor technology, superconducting electronics, quantum hardware, or advanced process integration, including leadership of complex technology programs.
• Deep expertise in Josephson-junction devices, superconducting qubits and/or digital logic, cryogenic operation, RF/microwave circuits, materials and interface loss, and device-to-system tradeoffs.
• Experience translating architectures into foundry processes and transferring technologies from research into fabrication, qualification, or manufacturing.
• Demonstrated ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering and program organizations and strategic collaborations.
• Travel: 20%.

Nice to have

• Industrial PhD experience in superconducting qubits, superconducting digital electronics, Josephson-junction fabrication, or cryogenic system integration.
• Experience with transmon qubits, microwave resonators, control/readout, parametric amplifiers, decoherence mechanisms, and cryogenic measurement.
• Experience with SFQ circuit design, simulation, layout, timing, 3D electromagnetic modeling, and RQL.
• Knowledge of superconducting materials, junction processes, multi-chip modules, TSVs, flip-chip interconnect, heterogeneous integration, cryo-CMOS, cryocoolers, wafer-scale integration, and cryogenic packaging.

Culture & Benefits

• Work in a multicultural and inclusive environment.
• Employment is subject to applicable local laws and pre-employment conditions, including background checks and medical screenings where applicable.
• Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs are part of the role.
