Nanofabrication Process Engineer

MIT Lincoln Laboratory

Lexington, MA • On-site

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement, PTO

Re-posted 13 days ago


Job description

The mission of the Quantum-Enabled Computation Group is to explore, prototype, and demonstrate transformative computational advantage by leveraging quantized and entangled signals.  Our work falls into three key thrusts: quantum computing with superconducting qubits, classical computing with single flux quanta in superconducting circuits, and quantum information science and algorithms. We also enable the broader US research enterprise via superconducting device foundries and open-source software development, and support the US Government as strategic Test and Evaluation partners and subject matter experts. Our interdisciplinary Group includes scientific experts in computer science, quantum information, device theory, materials science, fabrication and integration engineering, electrical and microwave engineering, and quantum physics. 

Job Description

Title: Associate Staff: Nanofabrication Process Engineer
The group seeks a full-time scientist or engineer to join our superconducting qubit fabrication team. The individual in this role will play a central role in developing and maturing quantum-compatible processes for monolithic and 3D-integrated circuits for quantum information processing. Work will focus on our 200 mm quantum fabrication platform and will primarily be completed in our in-house Microelectronics Laboratory with support from a full team of process and equipment technicians and area engineers.


The role will include initiating and executing short-loop and full-flow fabrication runs; overseeing standard process runs to meet program needs and improve device performance, yield, and reliability; analysis of test structure and metrology data at both ambient and cryogenic temperatures; and process development for new or improved features. After a training period, responsibilities will incorporate designing data-driven experiments and completing independent tasks while working with a team of engineers and scientists across a range of skill and experience levels.
While some of the materials used for superconducting circuits may be different from those typically used in CMOS, our fabrication leverages standard back end of line CMOS techniques including metal deposition, photolithography, and etch. We welcome applications from candidates both with and without direct experience in quantum devices.


Required:
Education: M.S. in a field related to nanofabrication with at least 3 years of hands-on experience in micro/nanofabrication process engineering or process integration. A B.S. with at least 5 years of hands-on experience in process engineering, or extensive on-the-job experience and demonstrated breadth and depth of fabrication expertise will be considered in lieu of an M.S.
A demonstrated ability to develop and execute rigorous experimental plans
Tool operation expertise and theoretical understanding in at least one of lithography, etch, thin films, metrology, and inspection
Excellent data management, organization, and communication skills


Desired:
Tool operation expertise and theoretical understanding across multiple of lithography, etch, thin films, metrology, and inspection
Demonstrated skill in electron-beam lithography
Expertise across full device fabrication flows
Experience with developing and executing standard process control
Demonstrated process integration and 3D integration experience and expertise
Familiarity with statistical analysis software in general, or JMP specifically
