Description du poste

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems.

The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously!

We're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!

About The Role

As a Nanofabrication Process Technician, you will be a key contributor to Alice&Bob's fabrication capability. Working in a cutting-edge cleanroom, you will execute the fabrication processes that transform wafer designs into superconducting quantum circuits.

You will operate advanced semiconductor manufacturing equipment, monitor process quality, and contribute to maintaining a reliable and efficient production environment. Beyond running processes, you will take ownership of selected equipment, helping ensure its availability, performance, and continuous improvement.

Success in this role is measured by the ability to execute wafer fabrication safely, repeatably, and efficiently while contributing to the team's throughput and equipment availability objectives.

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on technical work, thrives in a highly disciplined environment, and takes pride in delivering high-quality results through rigor, precision, and teamwork.

Responsabilities

As a member of the Cleanroom Operations team, you will:

Execute wafer fabrication

• Execute production and R&D wafer fabrication according to approved Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
• Operate a wide range of nanofabrication equipment
• Ensure the highest standards of quality, repeatability, and traceability throughout the fabrication process

Monitor process quality

• Perform in-line process characterization (optical microscopy, profilometry, reflectometry, etc.)
• Record and analyze process data to ensure compliance with process specifications
• Report process deviations and contribute to root cause investigations when required

Maintain equipment performance

• Act as Tool Responsible for assigned equipment and process areas (e.g. chemistry area, laser lithography)
• Perform routine inspections, calibrations, and equipment qualification checks
• Execute first-level preventive maintenance and support corrective maintenance activities
• Manage consumables and ensure equipment operational readiness

Contribute to operational excellence

• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives to increase throughput, equipment availability, and process robustness
• Contribute to the development and improvement of operating procedures
• Work closely with Process Engineering, Process Integration, and Test/Characterization teams to support technology development and production ramp-up

Requirements

Education and experience

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) in Physics, Materials Science, Chemistry, Microelectronics, or another relevant technical discipline.
• At least 3-5 years of experience in semiconductor, microfabrication, or nanofabrication environments
• Hands-on experience operating cleanroom process equipment

Technical Skills

• Experience working in ISO cleanroom environments
• Strong practical skills and attention to detail
• Ability to follow and execute standardized operating procedures with rigor
• Ability to interpret technical documentation and equipment manuals
• Experience with equipment maintenance or troubleshooting is a strong plus

Personal Skills

• Strong sense of ownership and accountability
• Team player with excellent communication skills
• Organized, rigorous, and quality-oriented
• Curious, proactive, and committed to continuous improvement
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-growing environment
• Professional proficiency in English
