• Integrate topological quantum devices including III‑V heterostructures, superconducting films, and hybrid material systems into semiconductor process flows.
• Develop and execute process integration flows across device modules, BEOL interconnect, and heterogeneous integration schemes.
• Collaborate with epitaxy and materials teams to ensure III‑V layers, superconductors, and interfaces meet device requirements.
• Integrate device architectures supporting qubit operation and cryogenic read-out/control circuitry.
• Analyze device/process interactions (defectivity, variability, contamination, interface quality) and perform root-cause analysis.
• Design and execute DOE and analyze electrical and physical characterization data to guide optimization.
• Support development of superconducting interconnects and low-loss BEOL wiring for cryogenic operation.
• Define and track technical milestones for performance, variability, and reliability; document integration flows and technical learnings.
• Participate in yield-learning activities and implement corrective actions.
• Perform all activities in compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform the role.

• 5+ years of semiconductor process or integration engineering experience.
• Experience with semiconductor device physics and materials interactions.
• Familiarity with advanced materials systems such as III‑V semiconductors and superconductors.
• Experience analyzing electrical and physical characterization data and using DOE results to guide process changes.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills.

Nice-to-have (preferred):

• Experience with epitaxial growth (MBE, MOCVD) or III‑V heterostructures.
• Background in superconducting or hybrid semiconductor devices and cryogenic measurements.
• Familiarity with topological quantum devices or related research areas.
• Experience with BEOL integration, interconnect technologies, packaging, DOE methodologies, yield analysis, or variability modeling.
• Experience working in advanced R&D or emerging technology environments.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related technical field.
