Quantum Processor Prototyping Engineer

Silicon Quantum Computing; Sydney; On-site; AUD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

Silicon Quantum Computing in Sydney seeks a Quantum Engineer to strengthen the prototyping loop behind our atomic-precision quantum processors, bridging design, fabrication and 4K/mK characterization. You will standardise test protocols, drive quality control, analyse data, and feed findings back into device design, with multidisciplinary collaboration across fabrication, cleanroom, and measurement teams.

A hands-on background in nanoscale devices, strong Python skills, and rigorous

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Honours, or Master’s degree in physics, materials science, nanotechnology, quantum engineering, or related discipline.
• Hands‑on experience with nanoscale device fabrication or characterisation in academic or industrial environments.
• Strong data analysis skills and proficiency in coding using Python.

Responsibilities

• Develop, standardise, and document test protocols across the QPU prototyping loop, from design and atomic-scale fabrication through to 4K and mK testing.
• Establish and run quality-control processes for device screening, ensuring devices are qualified consistently against defined criteria before progressing to full characterisation.
• Analyse atomic-scale fabrication data and correlate fabrication parameters with measured device characteristics and performance.
• Build and maintain structured records of device metrics to track yield, identify failure modes, and improve prototyping-loop efficiency.
• Work closely with atomic fabrication, cleanroom, and measurement teams to feed findings back into device design and fabrication processes.
• Contribute to root-cause analysis when devices underperform, and help drive fixes across team boundaries.
• Contribute to technical strategy and innovation by proposing and implementing new ideas and solutions.
