PMTS Superconducting Quantum Engineer
$143,000 - $247,000 USD yearly
Originally posted 9 October 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role is responsible for the development and integration of semiconductor technologies that enable scalable quantum computing systems. This involves technical leadership across semiconductor device integration, BEOL interconnect technology, photonics integration, advanced packaging, cryogenic interfaces, and quantum hardware process development.
What you'll do
- Lead development of semiconductor integration architectures supporting quantum computing platforms.
- Define integration strategies spanning front-end devices, BEOL routing, photonic interfaces, advanced packaging, interconnect technologies, and quantum-specific process modules.
- Develop and maintain technology roadmaps supporting long-term scalability, manufacturability, and qualification of quantum hardware.
- Drive integration optimization using DOE methodologies, statistical analysis, and yield learning techniques.
- Translate quantum system requirements into actionable semiconductor technology requirements and development plans.
- Analyze electrical, physical, reliability, and metrology data to identify integration challenges and improvement opportunities.
What you'll need
- Associate's degree, BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related technical discipline.
- 15+ years of semiconductor process integration, technology development, or advanced manufacturing experience.
- Demonstrated expertise in semiconductor integration, process development, or technology commercialization.
- Experience leading cross-functional technical programs or major development initiatives.
- Strong analytical, experimental design, and problem-solving capabilities.
- Ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to engineering and leadership audiences.
Nice to have
- Experience with advanced semiconductor integration, BEOL technologies, photonics integration, advanced packaging, or heterogeneous integration.
- Knowledge of quantum computing hardware architectures, ion trapping technologies, photonic systems, or cryogenic electronics.
- Experience supporting advanced R&D programs funded through government, commercial, or academic partnerships.
- Familiarity with MES systems and foundry processing.
- Experience transitioning emerging technologies from research into development or manufacturing environments.
