Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or related discipline.
• 15+ years in semiconductor technology, superconducting electronics, quantum hardware, or advanced process integration.
• Deep expertise in Josephson-junction devices, superconducting qubits and/or digital logic, cryogenic operation, RF/microwave circuits.
• Demonstrated success translating architectures into foundry processes and transferring technologies from research into fabrication, with ownership of quality, schedule, budget, and customer deliverables.
• Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary engineering and program organizations and strategic collaborations across customers, research organizations, suppliers, startups, and matrixed internal functions.
• Willingness to travel ~20%.

Responsibilities

• Develop and influence long-term roadmaps for superconducting qubits, SFQ digital logic, cryogenic control and readout, and packaging.
• Translate customer and system requirements into materials, process flows, device structures, design rules, PDK content, test vehicles, and acceptance criteria.
• Shape manufacturable qubit technologies spanning Josephson junctions, resonators, couplers, readout, low-loss materials and interfaces, coherence, fidelity, variability, and yield.
• Define scalable digital platforms, including RSFQ, ERSFQ/eSFQ, RQL, and AQFP, addressing junction uniformity, timing, wiring, inductance, power, memory, thermal budgets, and cryogenic I/O.
• Lead process integration, experiments, simulations, tape-outs, cryogenic characterization, technology transfer, qualification, and new-product introduction across superconducting logic, qubits, cryo-CMOS, multi-chip modules, TSVs, flip-chip, and heterogeneous integration.
• Build and govern internal and external development programs with customers, universities, research organizations, government laboratories, suppliers, and startups, including technical scope, proposals and estimates, milestones, schedules, budgets, IP, and transition plans.
• Lead multidisciplinary engineering and program teams; recruit and mentor talent; drive quality, schedule, budget, and customer commitments; and communicate architecture choices, execution status, risks, and investment priorities to customers and GF executives.
• Drive foundry operational improvement through cycle-time reduction, SPC and control-plan maturity, manufacturing systems, process quality, program reviews, and schedule-risk reduction.
• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
