What you will do

• Integrate superconducting-qubit hardware, including superconducting wiring, Josephson Junctions, resonators, BEOL modules, cryogenic interfaces, and advanced packaging.
• Develop and execute process integration flows for superconducting materials, junction formation, patterning, dielectric interfaces, and module interactions.
• Improve low-loss superconducting interconnects and microwave structures for cryogenic operation, including vias, crossovers, air bridges, feedlines, filters, and read-out resonators.
• Analyze defectivity, variability, contamination, interface quality, dielectric loss, flux trapping, and thermalization to improve performance, yield, and scalability.
• Execute DOEs and analyze inline, physical, electrical, microwave, and cryogenic data to guide integration improvements.
• Collaborate with device, process, metrology, packaging, reliability, design enablement, and cryogenic-test teams to deliver integration milestones and document scalable development flows.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in semiconductor process, device, materials, superconducting-device, or integration engineering.
• Significant experience with superconducting wiring, superconducting materials, and cryogenic device or quantum-hardware integration.
• Experience with Josephson Junction fabrication, integration, testing, or characterization.
• Experience with cryogenic characterization of superconducting devices, resonators, interconnects, or related structures.
• Strong data analysis, problem-solving, debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills; travel is approximately 10%.

Nice to have

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
