• PhD in physics, electrical engineering, material science or equivalent experience in industry
• Excellent attention to detail, communication skills, and ability to work in an interdisciplinary team with professionals from other fields of physics and engineering

Responsibilities

• Leading efforts to standardize, validate, and scale current and future nano-fabrication processes
• Operating and maintaining tools such as electron beam lithography systems, metal depositions systems, resist spinners, and wet and dry etch setups in a clean-room environment
• Optimizing fabrication procedures to maximize superconducting quantum device yield and performance
• Developing creative nano-fabrication techniques for superconducting quantum devices

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with fabrication of microwave superconducting devices, including process-development for Josephson junction-based devices, is preferred
• A background in quantum is preferred
