We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world's first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results.We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint. By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today's most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more. PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. Since photons don't feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity. Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications. We're a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world's first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible. There's much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey! Job Summary: The PsiQuantum Fab Engineering team will jointly develop a switch technology platform working with our development partners. The development efforts will include the development of new materials and the process which meet the requirements of PsiQ's product development plans for a commercially available quantum computer. The teams' primary responsibilities are the enablement of a new technology or modules in PsiQ's Fab. The team will support in defining process assumptions, process tolerances, wafer acceptance criteria, patterning solutions, tool selection, process development for new structures and materials. Additionally, the team will develop the technology primary in Molecular-Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and analyze in-line data and generate appropriate engineering line controls. The Epitaxy Engineers will work within PsiQ Fab to develop epitaxial deposition processes of oxide thin films at 300 mm wafer scale. They will be required to work as part of a small team focused on rapid process development and testing. The Epitaxy Engineers will work closely with other team members to design and execute experiments, drive innovations in epitaxial oxide deposition, analyze and review metrology data, consistently working to reduce cycle time, and improve deposition hardware in collaboration with tool vendors.
