Job Description:
As a Scientist/Senior Scientist within Q.InC, you will join our team to develop cutting-edge quantum packaging technology platforms. These platforms will enable the low-noise, high density integration of qubits and control chips on superconducting interposers. You will work in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment, collaborating with cross-functional teams to:
- Design and develop 3D superconducting interconnects.
- Explore wafer-to-wafer superconducting hybrid bonding techniques.
- Establish design rules and Process Design Kits (PDKs) for quantum packaging technologies.
- Prepare competitive research grant proposals to advance the state of the art.
- Partner with industry stakeholders to build foundational technologies for next-generation quantum packaging platforms.
Job Responsibilities:
- Develop and optimize process flows based on quantum component requirements, closely monitoring lot movements and ensuring alignment with project milestones.
- Collaborate with equipment and materials suppliers, as well as end-users, to advance quantum packaging technologies.
- Define and implement design rules and PDKs for superconducting qubit components.
- Work with technical and business development teams to initiate industry consortia projects with supply chain partners.
- Collaborate with other programs, A*STAR institutes, and academic institutions to prepare research grant proposals.
Job Requirements:
- PhD in Quantum Computing, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field with understanding of semiconductor material and manufacturing, chip integration or quantum technologies.
- At least 5 years of experience in semiconductor or quantum process development and integration, with a basic understanding of 3D quantum packaging.
- Hands-on experience with process development, integration, and monitoring in semiconductor packaging.
- Familiarity with 3D interconnect technologies, wafer bonding, and other advanced packaging techniques.
- Experience with quantum device fabrication and testing is a plus.
- Knowledge of superconducting materials and processes, such as hybrid bonding and superconducting interposers.
- Proven ability to develop and execute innovative R&D projects, especially in emerging technologies.
- Experience working with cross-functional teams, industry partners, and consortia.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills for engaging with academic, industrial, and governmental stakeholders.
- Self-motivated, proactive, and capable of effectively collaborating with diverse teams to achieve project goals.
