Drive the advancement of fabrication performance targets, including qubit coherence time and uniformity, through hands-on R&D work.
Support Design for Manufacturability (DFM) reviews to ensure products are ready for robust, scalable production.
Analyze experimental and test data to verify performance specifications and conduct root cause investigations for process deviations.
Provide technical support and training to manufacturing teams during the transition of new processes from R&D into production.
Required Skills
Strong understanding of product development and manufacturing processes, particularly in microfabrication and quantum technologies.
Knowledge of process development, tooling, equipment qualification, and quality assurance.
Knowledge of deep silicon etching, TSV, and ALD techniques.
Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
