Fabrication Operator, Frontend Wafer module

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.

The work

As Fabrication Operator, Frontend Wafer module, you'll be hands-on in our cleanroom, fabricating the QPUs and test wafers at the heart of IQM's quantum computers. You'll run matured front-end fabrication and metrology processes with a safety-first mindset, following our Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Best-Known Methods (BKMs) so every wafer comes out with consistent quality and on time.

You'll join the Fabrication department in QPU Production at our Foundry Espoo F1, reporting to the Wafer Production Team Leader. Day to day you'll work closely with fellow operators, Production Engineers, the tech lead, and Team Leaders, alongside other teams across IQM.

This is precision work: operating lithography, deposition, etch, and wet/thermal tools, keeping the line moving, and catching anything out of spec before it becomes a problem. The role is onsite and full-time, with readiness to work in shifts when required.

What you'll actually doExecute front-end QPU fabrication and metrology work strictly according to SOPs, work instructions, and safety protocols

Safely operate cleanroom tools for lithography, deposition, etch, and wet/thermal processes, using the provided setups and recipes

Run assigned production lots efficiently to hit daily throughput targets and keep the line moving

Monitor equipment status and process progress in real time, making sure every run stays within specified parameters

Log all production activity in the MES, checking wafer lots in and o
