Quantum Superconducting Qubit Integration

Job Title

Quantum Superconducting Qubit Integration

Role Summary

Member of Technical Staff (MTS) within GF Labs / Technology Development responsible for process and module integration to enable scalable superconducting quantum computing hardware.

The role focuses on integrating superconducting materials, Josephson Junction devices, low-loss wiring, resonators, cryogenic readout structures, packaging, and manufacturable process flows through hands-on execution, data-driven problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 5+ years of relevant semiconductor, device, materials, superconducting device, or integration engineering experience.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include process integration, characterization, and cross-functional delivery of superconducting-qubit hardware.

• Integrate superconducting wiring, Josephson Junctions, resonators, BEOL modules, cryogenic interfaces, and advanced packaging.
• Develop and execute process flows for superconducting materials, junction formation, patterning, dielectric interfaces, and module interactions.
• Improve low-loss superconducting interconnects and microwave structures for cryogenic operation (ground planes, vias, crossovers, air bridges, feedlines, filters, read-out resonators).
• Analyze drivers of process and device performance: defectivity, variability, contamination, interface quality, dielectric loss, flux trapping, and thermalization.
• Design and execute DOE experiments; analyze inline, physical, electrical, microwave, and cryogenic data to guide integration improvements.
• Collaborate with device, process, metrology, packaging, reliability, design enablement, and cryogenic-test teams to meet integration milestones.
• Translate quantum system requirements into manufacturable flows, design rules, materials specifications, characterization plans, and yield-learning actions.
• Document process flows, materials tradeoffs, characterization results, and technical learnings for scalable development and knowledge transfer.

Requirements

Must-have technical experience and capabilities; preferred items listed separately.

• Minimum 5+ years in semiconductor process, device, materials, superconducting device, or integration engineering.
• Significant hands-on experience with superconducting wiring, superconducting materials, and cryogenic device or quantum-hardware integration.
• Experience with Josephson Junction fabrication, integration, testing, or characterization.
• Experience with cryogenic characterization of superconducting devices, resonators, interconnects, or related structures.
• Experience designing, integrating, or characterizing superconducting circuits, resonators, or microwave structures for qubit control/read-out.
• Strong data analysis, problem-solving, debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10%.

Education Requirements

Required: BS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or a related field. Preferred: MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or a related field.
