PsiQuantum Quantum computing holds the promise of humanity’s mastery over the natural world, but only if we can build a
real
quantum computer. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the first real, useful quantum computers, capable of delivering the world-changing applications that the technology has long promised. We know that means we will need to build a system with roughly 1 million qubits that supports fault tolerant error correction within a scalable architecture, and a data center footprint.
By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today’s most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.
PsiQuantum has determined the fastest path to delivering a useful quantum computer, years earlier than the rest of the industry. Our architecture is based on silicon photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components at Tier-1 semiconductor fabs such as GlobalFoundries where we leverage high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are already producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. We also benefit from the quantum mechanics reality that photons don’t feel heat or electromagnetic interference, allowing us to take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems and industry standard fiber connectivity.
In 2024, PsiQuantum announced two government-funded projects to support the build-out of our first Quantum Data Centers and utility-scale quantum computers in Brisbane, Australia and Chicago, Illinois. Both projects are backed by nations that understand quantum computing’s potential impact and the need to scale this technology to unlock that potential. And we won’t just be building the hardware, but also the fault tolerant quantum applications that will provide industry-transforming results.
Quantum computing is not just an evolution of the decades-old advancement in compute power. It provides the key to mastering our future, not merely discovering it. The potential is enormous, and we have the plan to make it real. Come join us.
There’s much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!
Job Summary
The Senior Process Engineer will support the development of a new silicon photonic product. They will drive the processes needed to deliver a Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) that meets our technology requirements and interface closely with the design and sub-assembly teams for co-optimization. They will drive the yield improvement processes through careful defect inspection and failure analysis.
Responsibilities
Develop processes that meet semiconductor performance requirements. Interface with packaging & assembly teams representing the foundry team on wafer process flows. Optimize processes to enhance yield, improve stability and/or reliability. Ability to drive development projects and manage vendor relationships. Use data analysis skills (Ex: JMP) to develop new process. Structured risk management and problem-solving skills (FMEA, 8D, 5-why). Understanding and knowledge of Statistical Process Control (SPC) and/or Design of Experiments (DOE).
Experience/Qualifications
Minimum 5 years of experience in a semiconductor processing. Prior experience in process development, implementation and transfer to a HVM. Experience with dicing, defect inspection and post fab processing. Experience with metrology and material analysis. Proven experience executing cross-department complex projects. Experience in vendor relationship management. Experience with test structures for yield limiter determination and improvement. Strong critical thinking, creative, innovative, analytical, and detail oriented problem-solving skills. Proven track record of impactful results. Self-motivated and resourceful. Demonstrated ability to juggle multiple priorities and deliver against a schedule. Demonstrated interest in quantum computing. Ability to contribute in fast-moving start-up environment.
