Job summary

QuantWare seeks a Senior Process Engineer to translate quantum device research into repeatable, high-yield fabrication processes in a state-of-the-art kilofab. You will lead SAT for incoming tools, transfer processes from R&D to manufacturing, and drive PQPs with SPC and DOE for yield optimization.

You will collaborate across R&D, Equipment Engineering, and production to enable rapid qualification, tool qualification, and robust documentation, while contributing to cryogenic and superconducting

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field.
• 5-7 years of hands-on cleanroom process engineering in semiconductor fab or advanced materials fabrication.
• Experience with at least two core process modules (PVD, CVD, ALD, etching, track, laser/e-beam writing).
• Experience in equipment qualification or SAT activities.
• Proficiency in statistical analysis tools (JMP, Minitab, Python/R) for DOE and SPC.
• Strong documentation skills; able to write SOPs and qualification reports.
• Ability to work in a Class 100/ISO 5 cleanroom environment.
• Experience in superconducting qubit fabrication or quantum tech is a bonus.
• Familiarity with cryogenic materials constraints is desirable.

Responsibilities

• Lead or co-lead SAT for incoming process tools (IQ/OQ/PQ) for at least 2 modules.
• Create SAT criteria with engineers and vendors; negotiate test conditions and sign-off.
• Execute qualification wafer runs; analyze results and generate SAT reports.
• Coordinate tool installation timelines with Facilities and Equipment Engineering.
• Drive vendor support during tool bring-up and resolve open issues.
• Own end-to-end transfer of multiple process modules from R&D to kilofab.
• Develop PQPs and establish process windows, control limits, and acceptance criteria.
• Establish SPC monitoring and defect classification with fab automation.
• Drive DOE to optimize key process parameters for yield.
• Document learnings for OCAPs and train technicians on SOPs.
• Participate in Change Control Board and support rapid process/product introductions.
• Build cross-functional relationships to achieve alignment and fast optimization.
