Senior Quantum Device Modeling Engineer

Global Foundries; Town of Malta (NY); On-site; USD 98,000 - 176,000; Full time

Job summary

GlobalFoundries is seeking a Device Modeling Engineer to develop, validate, and deploy predictive models for superconducting and other quantum-enabled devices. Translate device physics into simulation-ready models and libraries for QPDKs and heterogeneous integration.

The role requires a strong background in device physics, multiphysics simulation, and hands-on modeling of non-CMOS devices, with experience in Python/MATLAB in a Linux environment. Travel up to 10% and fluent English are expected.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Physics, Photonics, Microelectronics, Quantum Engineering, or a related field required.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in device physics, device modeling, multiphysics simulation, parameter extraction, or characterization of non-CMOS devices.
• Strong foundation in semiconductor and solid-state device physics; ability to translate physical behavior into predictive models.
• Hands-on experience modeling non-CMOS devices (e.g., Josephson junctions, SQUIDs, superconducting resonators).
• Experience correlating models with measured data and defining validation criteria across ranges.
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or equivalent in Linux/Unix.
• Experience with at least one simulation environment (COMSOL, HFSS, Lumerical, ADS, Cadence).
• Ability to communicate technical conclusions to diverse stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Develop physics-based, behavioral, and compact models for non-CMOS devices across wide conditions.
• Plan and execute model extraction and validation using electrical, optical, RF/microwave, and cryogenic data.
• Correlate model behavior with data, identify limitations, and drive corrective actions.
• Define device structures, parameters, and characterization vehicles for scalable models.
• Implement models within circuit, EM, and photonic environments with regression testing and docs.
• Develop model libraries and design collateral for QPDKs and heterogeneous platforms.
• Collaborate with device, process, integration, PDK, EDA, and circuit-design teams to enable design.
