Senior Scientist, Quantum Wiring & Scale-Up

Moventas Wind Ltd; Espoo; Hybrid; EUR 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

VTT is seeking a Senior Scientist, Multi-Layered Wiring, to lead the development of superconducting wiring processes for 200 mm wafers and drive pilot-scale production.

You will oversee lithography, deposition, etching, and process integration, while mentoring colleagues and advancing DOE-driven improvements. This role blends strategic planning with hands-on cleanroom work in a world-class facility.

Qualifications

• PhD in applied physics, electrical engineering, materials science, micro/nanotechnology, or similar
• At least 6 years of hands‑on cleanroom experience, including PhD or postdoc work
• Expert‑level experience in lithography, dry etching, wet processing, thin film deposition, and integration flows
• Strong experience with DOE, metrology, SPC, yield analysis, and data‑driven process optimization
• Demonstrated track record of scaling R&D processes towards pilot production
• Ability to independently own technical workstreams and guide junior colleagues
• Experience with superconducting film integration or quantum device fabrication; knowledge of CMP, wafer bonding, or advanced packaging; RF simulations; in‑line characterization; mask design; scientific programming

Responsibilities

• Lead development and qualification of multi-layered superconducting wiring processes on 200 mm wafers
• Provide leadership in thin film deposition, lithography, dry etching, and wet processing
• Define and drive process integration, transfer, scaling, and tool-matching strategies
• Develop the technical roadmap for MLW modules aligned with QPU scaling goals
• Design and lead DOE campaigns with clear yield and performance targets
• Establish SPC, process monitoring, yield KPIs, and production-quality guardrails
• Lead characterization and data analysis to improve uniformity and device performance
• Drive production ramp-up planning, risk mapping, and pilot-scale readiness
• Contribute to EU projects, publications, and external partnerships
• Mentor junior colleagues and strengthen team capability, documentation, and safety culture
