About the role

Senior-level, hands-on engineer to develop, optimize, qualify, and integrate critical fabrication processes for semiconductor and quantum-device nanofabrication at Microsoft Quantum in West Lafayette, IN. Independent ownership of challenging fabrication processes, troubleshooting, and collaboration across device physics, materials, growth, and characterization teams.

Responsibilities

  • Build quantum devices by drawing on expertise of a large range of nano-fabrication techniques and work with other technical owners to understand the impact of process conditions on device performance.
  • Conduct experiments to create and improve fabrication processes and use quantitative characterization and metrology to establish process windows, identify failure mechanisms, and improve process repeatability and yield.
  • Partner closely with device physicists, materials scientists, growth engineers, characterization teams, and other fabrication engineers to identify factors that impact quantum devices and translate device requirements into practical fabrication processes.
  • Help develop tools needed for improving fabrication by identifying process and equipment capability gaps and assisting with equipment upgrades and process improvements for addressing those gaps.
  • Actively participate in the collection of fabrication and characterization data to maintain and improve processes and to identify opportunities for improved device performance, reliability, repeatability, and yield.

Qualifications

  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience
