Job summary

QuantWare BV is advancing the frontiers of quantum processors using our VIO™ architecture. We are seeking an Advanced Packaging Lead to steer back-end fabrication and assembly technology development, with a focus on flip-chip bonding, contacts reliability, and manufacturability within our multi-layer chip stack.

You will define experiments and drive cross-functional collaboration to scale complex quantum systems.

Qualifications

• 4+ years in chip assembly development in deep-tech or low-volume tech, preferably flip chip in quantum computing.
• Experience with back-end process-flow development (UBM, hard-stops, bumps, detachable contacts / MEMS).
• Background in superconducting qubits is a plus; degree in physics, microwave/RF, electrical engineering or related field.

Responsibilities

• Plan and lead development of back-end fabrication and assembly technologies, focusing on flip chip bonding, contacts reliability, and manufacturability.
• Develop and coordinate integration test plans with cross-functional teams.
• Define and formalise assembly-centric fabrication and process development across the organisation.
• Establish scalable, well-documented integration procedures to support system growth.
• Investigate and resolve integration issues and technical anomalies, ensuring alignment with specifications.

Job description

About Us

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors.

With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in!

As an Advanced Packaging Lead, you’ll play a crucial role in developing our state of the art assembly technologies of quantum processors in our advanced multi-layer chip stack architecture. These components development aims to achieve best in class quantum computing performance which are in turn integrated in our VIO technology. You will define fabrication and process development projects, design of experiments, and ensure seamless integration and optimisation of all technical components. Your work will be essential as we scale to increasingly complex systems and deliver on the promise of quantum computing.

What you'll be doing

• Plan and lead the development of back-end fabrication and assembly technologies, with a focus on enhancing the flip chip bonding techniques, contacts reliability, and manufacturability of quantum processors to our architecture chip stack.
• Develop and coordinate integration test plans in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Lead the definition and formalisation of assembly-centric fabrication and process development across the organisation.
• Establish scalable, well-documented integration procedures to support system growth.
• Investigate and resolve integration issues and technical anomalies, ensuring alignment with specifications and overall performance targets.

Your Profile

• 4+ years of experience in chip assembly development of deep-tech or low-volume technology, preferably flip chip in quantum computing.
• Hands-on experience with back end process-flow development, and specifically UBM, hard-stops, bumps, detachable contacts / MEMS, flip-chip technologies.
• A background in superconducting qubits is a significant plus.
• A background in physics, microwave/RF/electrical engineering, or a related field (PhD is a plus)

What We Offer:

• Competitive salary - A salary that reflects the impact and importance of the role (and of course 8% holiday allowance)
• Pension that’s built to last - A generous and future-proof pension plan that includes partner and dependent coverage.
• Flexibility built on trust - We focus on outcomes. Work flexibly, in a hybrid setup, with an open vacation policy that lets you manage your time
• Personal growth - We invest in your L& D, with a budget available to each team member, dependent on their individual ambitions, development needs, and performance
• A connected team - We make space to celebrate wins together, with team events, offsites, and spontaneous moments that bring us closer

Diversity & Inclusion at QuantWare

We’re an ambitious company, not only for our goals but also to become an even more diverse and inclusive team. We know this helps us with better decisions, more innovation, and strengthens our culture. In particular, we’d love to see more women in the quantum industry!

As part of our recruitment process, candidates may be required to undergo pre-employment screening.
