Campus Pride Jobs

We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world's first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results.We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today's most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. Since photons don't feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity.

Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications. We're a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world's first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible.

There's much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Job Summary:

The PsiQuantum Foundry Engineering team will jointly develop a silicon photonics (SiPh) technology platform working with our development partners. The development efforts will include the addition of new materials and process modules which meet the requirements of PsiQ's product development plans for a commercially available quantum computer. Unique materials and process modules include a superconducting single photon detector, ultra-low loss waveguides, light scattering mitigation structures ("dark box") and a non-linear epitaxial metal oxide switch.

The teams' primary responsibilities are the enablement of a new technology or modules and to provide engineering support working with the foundry. The team will support in defining design rules, design manual, process assumptions, computational lithography, process tolerances, wafer acceptance criteria, patterning solutions, tool selection, process development for new structures and materials. Additionally, the team will analyze inline data and generate appropriate engineering line controls.

The Sr. Process Integration Engineer will support the development of a new silicon photonic product in a Foundry environment. The Sr Process Integration Engineer will drive collaboration to develop the integrated modules, including the introduction of novel materials needed to deliver photonic components that meets our technology requirements. Some of the processes in these modules will include lithography, etch, dielectric and metal deposition, wet cleans and others.

Responsibilities:

• Lead the process development of a high-quality photonic component in our SiPh platform.
• Support the process integration development of a high efficiency robust single photon detector module.
• Critically assess the interactions between design layout, technology design-rules and processes.
• Drive process improvements to meet component performance requirements.
• Development of SiPh platform focused on yield improvement by reducing defectivity and improving process stability (Cp/Cpk).
• Ability to drive joint development projects and manage vendor relationships.
• Experience with inline metrology, electrical characterization, defect inspection and reduction.

Experience/Qualifications:

• An advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or Material Science Engineering or related fields is preferred.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in semiconductor process integration in research and/or development setting.
• Advanced packaging and/or process integration.
• Proven experience executing cross-department complex projects.
• Experience working with leading edge technologies.
• Experience in vendor relationship management.
• Experience with test structures for yield limiter determination and improvement.
• Prior experience in new product technology development, implementation and transfer to a HVM facility.
