Senior Quantum Device Processing Engineer

Silicon-Quantum-Computing; Sydney; On-site; AUD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) is building the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer in Sydney and beyond. We are hiring a Senior Device Processing Engineer to advance the fabrication processes of silicon-based quantum devices in our state-of-the-art cleanroom.

You will own the full flow from lithography to packaging, optimise yield, and develop new proof-of-concept processes to support our roadmap toward scalable quantum hardware.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years' hands-on experience in cleanroom semiconductor fabrication.
• Demonstrated hands-on expertise in electron beam lithography.
• Strong experience across nanoscale processes (etching, deposition, materials integration).
• Proven ability to optimise and troubleshoot fabrication processes and equipment.
• Track record of independently developing, documenting, and transferring fabrication recipes.
• Demonstrated leadership in a collaborative technical environment.

Responsibilities

• Lead optimisation of semiconductor fabrication processes across the full flow (lithography, etching, deposition, packaging) to improve performance and reproducibility.
• Develop new fabrication techniques to support scaling of quantum architectures.
• Perform advanced device processing, with electron beam lithography as a core daily tool.
• Conduct detailed root cause analysis and resolve complex fabrication issues.
• Maintain cleanroom equipment and infrastructure.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to junior engineers and researchers.
• Contribute to documentation, process control discipline, and safety procedures.
