hirify.global develops silicon spin-qubit devices and related quantum hardware platforms.

What you will do

• Design and fabricate silicon-based spin-qubit devices using advanced nanofabrication tools.
• Develop process flows and recipes for multi-layer thin-film stacks, semiconductor heterostructures, and nanoscale device architectures.
• Improve process reproducibility and yield by identifying bottlenecks and implementing structured process-control methods.
• Perform optical microscopy, SEM, AFM, electrical characterization, and transport experiments at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions.
• Collaborate with theorists, device physicists, materials scientists, and systems engineers to translate system requirements into hardware solutions.
• Contribute to experimental strategy, roadmap planning, architecture decisions, documentation, and cross-disciplinary technical communication.

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in Physics, Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of hands-on cleanroom experience with the ability to independently design, fabricate, and iterate nanoscale device structures.
• Experience with electron-beam lithography or photolithography, thin-film deposition, and wet and dry etching.
• Experience with semiconductor processing, preferably on silicon-based platforms.
• Experience with electrical characterization of nano-devices and experimental validation.
• Familiarity with cryostats or dilution refrigerators, plus proficiency in scientific programming and data analysis using Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW.
