About The Job

As a fabrication backend process engineer you will play a role in the development and manufacturing of our cutting-edge quantum processor devices. You will be responsible for the die singulation process, die cleaning process, hybridization process, and device characterization modules. Your expertise will be crucial in developing robust, scalable bonding processes and die preparation processes that meet the quality standards. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including design, test, integration and frontend engineers, to optimize device performance, yield, and reliability.

Additionally, you will play a key role in the qualification of equipment and processes to establish and maintain a state-of-the-art advanced packaging technique.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

Individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training.
