## About the role

As a Staff Process Engineer at D-Wave New Haven, you will be responsible for developing and implementing processes to fabricate both our current- and next-gen QPU designs. D-Wave New Haven is moving to an integrated-QPU architecture with a significant rise in process complexity vs. earlier designs; your job will be to adapt R&D processes to (low- to medium-volume) production, ensuring a stable and repeatable multi-layer process flow using SPC and in situ metrology.

## What they're looking for

- Responsible for driving the integration of D-Wave’s integrated QPU fabrication process, moving it from development to production
- Using tools such as JMP and Siemens OpCenterX to track process integration progress and success, identifying any roadblocks as they appear
- Designing and executing experiments to improve device quality and process fidelity, and communicating the results to the fabrication team and other stakeholders
- Operating tools such as metal deposition systems, electron-beam and optical lithography tools, and wet and dry etch systems in both the D-Wave and Yale clean room facilities
- Routine maintenance of tools and facilities in the D-Wave lab, and qualification of new fabrication tools as needed
- Design in situ metrology regimes to track the production and tool health at all steps via SPC
