Quantum Superconducting Qubit Integration

GlobalFoundries • Malta, NY

2d • $98,000 - $176,000

About The Position

The Superconducting Qubit Integration (MTS) role is a technical contributor within the GF Labs / Technology Development organization focused on enabling scalable superconducting quantum computing hardware. This position supports integration of superconducting materials, Josephson Junction devices, low-loss wiring, resonators, cryogenic read-out structures, and manufacturable process flows.

As a Member of Technical Staff, this role contributes to process and module integration for superconducting-qubit platforms across device, BEOL wiring, resonator, packaging, and cryogenic characterization domains. The position emphasizes hands-on execution, data-driven problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration to improve performance, yield, variability, and scalability.

• 5+ years in semiconductor process, device, materials, superconducting device, or integration engineering.
• Significant experience with superconducting wiring, superconducting materials, and cryogenic device or quantum-hardware integration.
• Experience with Josephson Junction fabrication, integration, testing, or characterization.
• Experience with cryogenic characterization of superconducting devices, resonators, interconnect, or related structures.
• Experience designing, integrating, or characterizing superconducting circuits, resonators, or microwave structures for qubit control/read-out.
• Strong data analysis, problem-solving, debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Travel: ~10%.

Nice To Haves

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or related field.
• Experience with superconducting films such as Al, Nb, NbN, TiN, Ta, or related low-loss materials.
• Experience with Josephson Junction process modules such as trilayers, shadow evaporation, oxidation control, lift-off, damascene, or subtractive patterning.
• Familiarity with microwave engineering for superconducting qubits, including resonator Q, dielectric loss, impedance matching, crosstalk, filtering, and packaging parasitics.
• Experience with dilution refrigerator measurements, cryogenic probing, S-parameters, resonator extraction, critical-current testing, or related electrical test methods.
• Experience with BEOL integration, superconducting interconnect, low-loss dielectrics, air bridges, TSVs, flip-chip, interposers, or cryogenic packaging.
• Familiarity with superconducting-qubit architectures such as transmon, fluxonium, tunable couplers, resonator read-out, or parametric amplification.
• Experience with DOE, yield learning, variability modeling, root-cause analysis, SPC, or reliability assessment in R&D or manufacturing environments.

Responsibilities

• Support integration of superconducting qubit hardware, including superconducting wiring, Josephson Junctions, resonators, BEOL modules, cryogenic interfaces, and advanced packaging.
• Develop and execute process integration flows for superconducting materials, junction formation, patterning, dielectric interfaces, and module interactions.
• Improve low-loss superconducting interconnect and microwave structures for cryogenic operation, including ground planes, vias, crossovers, air bridges, feedlines, filters, and read-out resonators.
• Analyze process and device performance drivers such as defectivity, variability, contamination, interface quality, dielectric loss, flux trapping, and thermalization.
• Execute DOEs and analyze inline, physical, electrical, microwave, and cryogenic data to guide integration improvements.
• Work cross-functionally with device, process, metrology, packaging, reliability, design enablement, and cryogenic-test teams to deliver integration milestones.
• Translate superconducting quantum requirements into manufacturable flows, design rules, materials specifications, characterization plans, and yield-learning actions.
• Document process flows, assumptions, materials tradeoffs, characterization results, and technical learnings for scalable development and knowledge transfer.
