ppWe are seeking a highly skilled Quantum Device Engineer to join Equal1’s hardware team and take end-to-end ownership of key elements of our silicon spin-qubit device platform. This is a foundational role at the intersection of nanofabrication, cryogenic engineering, and qubit measurement. You will contribute to the development of our silicon spin qubit devices from process conception through validation, while helping build the laboratory infrastructure, workflows, and technical standards that will define our hardware roadmap. /p pThis is a hands‑on role at the intersection of cleanroom fabrication, cryogenic measurement, and quantum device engineering, well‑suited to someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and is motivated to turn world‑class research into engineered, repeatable systems. /p pbKey Responsibilities: /b /p ul liDesign and fabricate silicon‑based spin‑qubit devices using state‑of‑the‑art nanofabrication tools. /li liDevelop process flows and refine recipes for complex multi‑layer thin‑film stacks, semiconductor heterostructures, and nanoscale device architectures. /li liIdentify process bottlenecks, improve reproducibility and yield, and implement structured process control methodologies. /li liPerform structural characterisation (optical microscopy, SEM, AFM, etc.) and electrical measurements to assess device quality and performance. /li liExecute transport experiments to validate device functionality at room temperature and under cryogenic conditions. /li liCollaborate closely with theorists, device physicists, materials scientists, and systems engineers to translate system requirements into robust hardware solutions. /li liContribute to experimental strategy, roadmap planning, and longer‑term architecture decisions. /li liStrong documentation habits and the ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly across disciplines. /li /ul h3Experience and Qualifications /h3 ul liMSc or PhD in Physics, Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field, with relevant experience in silicon spin qubits or comparable quantum device platforms. /li li5+ years of hands‑on experience in a cleanroom environment, with strong capability to independently design, fabricate, and iterate nanoscale device structures. /li liProven expertise across key nanofabrication methods, including: ul liElectron‑beam lithography (EBL) and/or photolithography /li liThin‑film deposition (e.g., evaporation, sputtering, ALD) /li liWet and dry etching processes /li /ul /li liExperience with semiconductor processing (silicon‑based platforms preferred) /li liAbility to design, fabricate, and iterate nanoscale device structures independently. /li liExperience with electrical characterisation of nano‑devices and experimental validation. /li liFamiliarity with low‑temperature measurements (e.g., cryostats, dilution refrigerators) /li liKnowledge of measurement techniques such as transport measurements, charge sensing, RF reflectometry, and quantum device characterisation is a plus /li liProficiency in scientific programming and data analysis (e.g., Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW), including visualisation and/or experimental control workflows. /li liStrong documentation habits and ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly across disciplines. /li /ul pbPreferred Qualifications: /b /p ul liComfort building systems and processes from scratch in a fast‑paced environment, with a strong bias toward execution and iteration. /li liWilling to make engineering trade‑offs without compromising long‑term scalability /li liTrack record of scientific/technical impact (publications, patents, or equivalent contributions). /li /ul /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
