- 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 Haves
- 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.
Responsibilities
- 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.
- Identify critical technology gaps and drive closure plans through internal development and external collaborations.
- Lead definition and execution of integrated process flows, module interactions, process windows, and technology learning cycles.
- Drive integration optimization using DOE methodologies, statistical analysis, and yield learning techniques.
- Establish integration checkpoints, performance metrics, and technical success criteria.
- Evaluate technology tradeoffs involving performance, manufacturability, reliability, yield, cost, and scalability.
- Collaborate with device engineering, process module teams, manufacturing, reliability, modeling, design enablement, and packaging organizations.
- Translate quantum system requirements into actionable semiconductor technology requirements and development plans.
- Support customer and partner engagements through technical presentations, roadmap discussions, and program reviews.
- Contribute to externally funded programs, strategic partnerships, and joint development agreements.
- Analyze electrical, physical, reliability, and metrology data to identify integration challenges and improvement opportunities.
- Lead root-cause investigations and corrective action planning for integration-related issues.
- Develop predictive models and learning frameworks that accelerate technology maturation.
- Mentor junior engineers and MTS-level contributors and provide technical guidance across integration disciplines.
- Influence organizational technical direction through expert knowledge and demonstrated execution.
