QPU Process Engineer

At IQM, we build world-leading quantum computers for the well-being of humankind. We design systems to tackle computational challenges beyond the practical limits of classical machines. Our work sits at the edge of science and engineering. It's complex, demanding, and deeply collaborative. We turn deep research into reliable, full-stack systems that drive discoveries in fields like medicine, energy, and technology, reshaping how the world computes.

Join the team that gives quantum a heartbeat.

The Work

We're looking for a QPU Process Engineer to own and improve wafer fabrication processes in our cleanroom. In this role, you'll operate tools, optimize processes, troubleshoot production issues, and design experiments to enhance process quality. You'll collaborate closely with Production, Development, Materials, and Equipment teams to maintain and develop wafer processing steps that directly impact qubit coherence and signal routing performance in quantum processors.

What you'll actually doBecome a process owner for specific wafer processes and provide support to other stakeholders.

Take a data-driven approach to process engineering - driving process control and continuous improvement.

Produce concise technical reports from process activities that feed back into future design iterations.

Design experiments to test new processes, eliminate issues, or optimize existing ones.

Collaborate closely with other teams across all phases of QPU fabrication.

Track wafer WIP using MES systems, Jira, and Confluence.

Coordinate with Equipment Engineers to keep production tools and systems in optimal condition.

Collaborate with equipment vendors on tool performance, process issues, and capability improvements.

Ensure full compliance with health, safety, and cleanroom operational standards.

Support 5S activities, production capacity planning, and process improvement initiatives.

What we're looking for2-3 years of tool operation experience in a wafer production or cleanroom environm
