Semiconductor Trap Fabrication Scientist - 1118

The role

You will take part in all stages of making microfabricated ion traps for quantum computers, from new concepts and design to fabrication, packaging and testing. You will also help plan future trap designs and work with partners and suppliers.

What you will do

• Take part in all stages of ion trap development and manufacturing: concept, design, layout, fabrication, packaging and characterization
• Develop designs and process flows for ion trap features and components with integrated photonics
• Assess requirements of current and future ion traps and specify or develop designs and processes to meet them
• Work with scientists, engineers and technicians to turn system requirements into working hardware
• Support work with third parties, supplier relationships and co-development opportunities
• Contribute to long-range planning for future trap designs and processes

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree minimum
• Experience with chip-scale photonics or integrated optics/waveguides
• Minimum 3 years' experience in MEMS or IC fabrication (PhD/Masters inclusive)
• U.S. Person: U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or granted asylum or refugee status

Nice to have

• PhD in Physics, Materials Science or Engineering
• Demonstrated ability to apply physics and materials expertise to practical device designs
• Experience interfacing with a semiconductor foundry
• Process integration experience in a micro-fabrication manufacturing environment
• Work experience in a micro-fabrication development environment
• Experience with semiconductor/MEMS processes and tools such as thin film deposition, photolithography, deep reactive ion etching and process integration
• Knowledge of on-chip photonics, wafer fabrication and fiber-to-chip coupling
• Finite Element Modeling of MEMS-like structures
• Experience with 2.5/3D semiconductor packaging
• Experience working in an R&D environment

Benefits

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible work arrangements
• Employer-subsidized medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) with company match and student loan repayment benefit
• Equity opportunities
• Paid time off, sick leave and 12 paid holidays a year
• Paid parental leave
• Employee discount programs

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. Person due to contractual requirements
• Pre-employment drug test required for safety-sensitive positions
• Some positions may need U.S. government export license authorization before a non-U.S. person can access controlled technology
