Job summary

QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors and scaling manufacturing capabilities with a small, high-ownership team. The Semiconductor Equipment Engineer will lead end-to-end tool installations, optimize maintenance, and coordinate upgrades for a new nanofab line, in a hybrid setting.

Candidates should have hands-on experience with advanced equipment in cleanrooms, experience with high-vacuum tools, and familiarity with cryogenic systems.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting advanced equipment (ideally in commercial cleanrooms).
• Experience with high-vacuum tools, ideally semiconductor nanofabrication equipment.
• Familiarity with cryogenic or dilution refrigerator systems is a strong plus.
• Relevant technical degree or equivalent background in instrumentation, electrical engineering, or mechatronics.
• Systematic problem solver with strong planning and coordination skills.
• Comfortable working under time pressure in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Self-driven, team-oriented, and able to operate with minimal oversight.

Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end installations with OEMs: planning, FAT/SAT, and through IQ/OQ to get capacity qualified and in production as early as possible.
• Own preventive maintenance: define, perform and continuously optimize PM schedules, spares, and documentation to maximize uptime.
• Drive corrective maintenance: rapid troubleshooting, deep root-cause analysis, permanent corrective actions, and clear reporting.
• Build the new fab: support the commissioning of our state-of-the-art cleanroom and nanofab line—part of our multi-million investment in scaling manufacturing.
• Tight process–equipment alignment: work closely with Process Engineering to ensure equipment capabilities, process requirements and factory operations stay in lock-step.
• Own facilities interfaces once operational: gas, vacuum, cryogenic, electrical, cooling water, chemical and exhaust systems tied to your tools; coordinate upgrades as the cleanroom ramps.
