Senior Superconducting Process Data & MES Integration Engineer M/F

This role combines MES technical ownership, equipment and data integration, and superconducting fabrication process data analysis. The successful candidate will translate complex superconducting device process flows into MES logic, integrate tools and data sources to enable full lot/wafer/chip data traceability.

The role is particularly suited for someone with experience in superconducting material fabrication, thin-film deposition, Josephson junction fabrication, device characterization, and data-driven process improvement in an R&D or prototyping environment. The position will act as the technical owner of the MES within Alice & Bob’s chip manufacturing and characterization ecosystem.

MES Deployment & Process Configuration

Deploy, configure, and customize a commercial MES solution across existing and future fabrication, packaging, and characterization tools.

Translate superconducting quantum device fabrication flows into MES routings and traceability structures, and evolve them as processes, material stacks, design rules, and equipment capabilities change.

Superconducting Fabrication & Characterization Data Analysis

Analyze fabrication, electrical test, and cryogenic characterization data to identify process variability, tool effects, drift, yield limitations, and failure modes.

Correlate process conditions with superconducting material and device performance, and propose data-driven improvement plans.

Equipment Integration, Maintenance & Data Acquisition

Design and implement APIs, scripts, file-based interfaces, and database connections to integrate existing and future equipment with the MES, including tools that do not support SECS/GEM.

Configure the MES to extract and store critical equipment/process data, and implement preventive and usage-based maintenance tracking, including tool status, alarms, counters, and maintenance history.

Manufacturing Data, Dashboards & Traceability

Build dashboards and reports for process monitoring, equipment performance, yield, variability, and engineering investigations, ensuring traceability at the lot, wafer, chip, process-step, equipment, and test-result levels.

Identify, investigate, and manually correct erroneous or inconsistent MES/database entries when operator-filled information is incorrect, while maintaining clear documentation of corrections.

User Training & Support

Train and support MES users across process integration, nanofabrication, packaging, characterization, test, and operations teams.

Provide day-to-day troubleshooting, documentation, user guidance, and act as the main technical interface with the MES vendor for upgrades, integrations, configuration changes, and issue resolution.
