QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.
With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!
As a Fabrication Engineer for Parametric Quantum Devices, your work will be essential to advancing the performance and scalability of our quantum processors. You will focus on the research, development, and physical realization of the quantum signal chain, with a particular emphasis on Traveling Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs) and readout components—utilizing superconducting devices both with and without Josephson junctions.
You will work in an international, collaborative environment, bridging the gap between fundamental physics and engineering. Working in a tight feedback loop with experimentalists and design engineers, you’ll turn measurement insights into rapid fabrication iterations that push the performance of our parametric devices. Your contributions will be essential in meeting our technical and product milestones, ensuring QuantWare remains at the forefront of quantum computing innovation.
Fabrication Workflow Optimization: Continuously improve our fabrication workflow for readout devices and TWPAs, utilizing feedback from the measurement and design engineers to iterate on device performance.
Process Standardization: Develop and maintain high-standard protocols for the fabrication of superconducting components, ensuring high yield and reproducibility across different wafers.
Innovative Material Research: Investigate new materials and technological solutions to improve device metrics.
Documentation & Reporting: Maintain detailed documentation of experimental setups, process protocols, and characterization results; prepare technical reports and presentations to communicate progress and insights to the wider team.
Collaborative Development: Work closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure that innovations in the readout chain are successfully integrated into our next-generation quantum processors.
Nanofabrication and cleanroom experience with E-beam / UV lithography / dry etching / wet etching / PVD and CVD/ diagnostics (2+ yrs). Specialized experience in Josephson junction fabrication is highly valued.
A Ph.D. or equivalent experience (Master’s degree + 2 years of industry experience) in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Hands-on experience in a cleanroom environment, fabricating superconducting devices.
Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
