Introduction
The Spin Qubit Integration (MTS) role is a technical contributor within the GF Labs / Technology Development organization focused on enabling scalable semiconductor spin-based quantum computing hardware. This position supports integration of isotopically enriched silicon channels, quantum-dot gate stacks, low-noise interfaces, charge-sensing/read-out structures, cryogenic test vehicles, and manufacturable CMOS-compatible process flows.

Job Summary
As a Member of Technical Staff, this role contributes to process and module integration for spin-qubit platforms across device, gate-stack, semiconductor materials, BEOL/interconnect, packaging, and cryogenic characterization domains. The position emphasizes hands-on execution, data-driven problem solving, and cross-functional collaboration to improve charge noise, device uniformity, yield, variability, and scalability.

Essential Responsibilities

• Support integration of spin-qubit hardware, including isotopically enriched silicon channels, quantum-dot gate stacks, charge sensors, gate fanout, BEOL modules, cryogenic interfaces, and advanced packaging.

• Develop and execute CMOS-compatible process integration flows for quantum-dot devices, including channel formation, gate dielectric/metal stacks, fine-pitch gate definition, isolation, contacts, and module interactions.

• Improve low-noise device and interconnect structures for cryogenic operation, including charge-sensing structures, RF reflectometry interfaces, bias routing, filtering structures, and packaging interfaces.

• Analyze process and device performance drivers such as charge noise, disorder, interface traps, variability, contamination, leakage, mobility degradation, valley splitting, and thermalization.

• Execute DOEs and analyze inline, physical, electrical, RF/microwave, transport, and cryogenic data to guide integration improvements.

• Work cross-functionally with device, process, metrology, packaging, reliability, design enablement, and cryogenic-test teams to deliver integration milestones.

• Translate spin-qubit requirements into manufacturable flows, design rules, materials specifications, characterization plans, and yield-learning actions.

• Document process flows, assumptions, materials tradeoffs, characterization results, and technical learnings for scalable development and knowledge transfer.

Required Qualifications

• Education: BS in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, or related field.

• Years of Experience: 5+ years in semiconductor process, device, materials, quantum device, or integration engineering.

• Significant experience with semiconductor device integration, advanced gate stacks, nanoscale device structures, or cryogenic device/quantum-hardware integration.

• Experience with silicon spin-qubit, quantum-dot, MOS, Si/SiGe, FD-SOI, or related semiconductor device platforms.

• Experience with electrical, transport, RF/microwave, or cryogenic characterization of semiconductor devices, quantum dots, charge sensors, or related structures.

• Experience integrating or characterizing structures for qubit control/read-out, including charge sensing, RF reflectometry, gate-based sensing, or spin/charge transport measurements.

• Strong data analysis, problem-solving, debugging, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

• Travel: ~10%.

Preferred Qualifications

• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Physics, Materials Science, or related field.

• Experience with isotopically enriched silicon, Si/SiGe heterostructures, quantum wells, MOS quantum dots, FD-SOI devices, or CMOS-compatible spin-qubit process flows.

• Experience with nanoscale patterning and process modules such as e-beam or advanced optical lithography, thin-film deposition, ALD, oxidation, wet/dry etch, CMP, implants, and anneals.

• Familiarity with spin-qubit device physics, including spin resonance, spin shuttling, exchange coupling, valley splitting, charge noise, and spin-dependent read-out.

• Experience with cryogenic probing, dilution refrigerator measurements, RF reflectometry, S-parameters, low-noise transport, charge sensing, or automated qubit/device tuning.

• Experience with BEOL integration, low-parasitic interconnect, fine-pitch routing, TSVs, flip-chip, interposers, thermalization structures, or cryogenic packaging.

• Familiarity with cryo-CMOS control/read-out interfaces, multiplexing, compact device layouts, quantum device TCAD/modeling, or design-rule development for qubit arrays.

• Experience with DOE, yield learning, variability modeling, root-cause analysis, SPC, or reliability assessment in R&D or manufacturing environments.
