Senior Fabrication Research Scientist

We are looking for a Senior Fabrication Research Scientist. As a Senior Fabrication Research Scientist, you'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems.

In this role, you will design, fabricate, and test optical circuits for optical interfaces to qubits. You will develop integration techniques for combining optical and electronic devices that optimize for system-level performance. You will lead efforts to fabricate and test these devices at foundry scale.

Responsibilities:

• Work with architecture teams to turn system-level specifications into component-level specifications and design rules
• Design optical circuits taking into account target performance, fabrication capabilities, and interactions with other components
• Fabricate test devices in a user facility
• Build relationships with external vendors to scale up fabrication and testing
• Partner with internal test and measurement teams to ensure devices meet target specifications

You'd be a good fit with:

• 5 + years of experience fabricating optical or quantum devices
• A PhD in electrical engineering, physics, or a related field
• Experience leading cross-disciplinary teams within large projects

You'd be a great fit with:

• Experience hiring and training new teams for research and development work
• Knowledge of cryogenic testing and operation
• Familiarity with architectures for distributed quantum computing, sensing, and networking
