About the role
Organizational Leadership & Capability Building: Build, lead, and scale a process integration team supporting quantum materials and device development; Set technical direction, priorities, and execution plans aligned with program milestones; Coach and develop talent, establishing a culture of rigor, accountability, and cross-functional collaboration; Drive hiring and organizational growth to meet increasing integration complexity Process Integration Strategy & Ownership: Define and own the end-to-end integration strategy across materials growth and characterization, device fabrication and process flows, electrical characterization and feedback loops; Ensure alignment between process modules (epitaxy, lithography, etch, deposition, packaging) and device/system
requirements; Establish and enforce best practices for process integration, yield improvement, and reproducibility Cross-Functional Technical Leadership: Lead coordination across materials, fabrication, measurement, and device design teams to converge on optimized process stacks; Translate experimental and process data into actionable decisions that improve qubit performance; Drive tradeoff decisions across process complexity, performance, and scalability; Influence roadmap and architecture through integration-driven insights Experimental Program Execution: Oversee large-scale experimental campaigns that integrate materials, process, and device optimization; Drive structured experimentation, including DOE (design of experiments) frameworks, statistical analysis and data-driven decision-making, and root-cause analysis of performance variability; Ensure delivery against critical program milestones and integration readiness gates Infrastructure, Tooling & AI Enablement: Drive development of integration infrastructure, including process tracking, data pipelines, and feedback loops: Lead adoption of AI/automation to accelerate: process optimization, data analysis and correlation across process steps, and knowledge management across integration flows. Program & Stakeholder Leadership: Own execution across multiple concurrent integration efforts, aligning priorities across teams; Communicate program progress, risks, and tradeoffs to leadership; Partner with internal and external fabrication partners to ensure process scalability and transferability Other Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment 3+ years of people management experience.
