• 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.

Integration Development

• 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.

Cross-Functional Execution

• Collaborate closely 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.

Data Analysis and Problem Solving

• 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.

Mentorship and Technical Influence

• Mentor junior engineers and MTS-level contributors.
• Provide technical guidance across integration disciplines.
• Influence organizational technical direction through expert knowledge and demonstrated execution.
• Contribute to invention disclosures, publications, patents, and technology strategy planning.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
• Other duties as assigned by manager / supervisor

Required Qualifications:

• Associate's degree, BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, Chemical Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• 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.

  

Preferred Qualifications: 

• 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.
