Fabricate superconducting qubit devices in a DOE national lab cleanroom, refining recipe workflows and running cryogenic measurements alongside experienced researchers.
Research Associate - Quantum Device Fabrication
Bay Area, California, United States
MF-Molecular Foundry
107540 Requisition #
The Molecular Foundry at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is seeking a Research Associate to support its quantum research program through hands-on fabrication and characterization of superconducting devices. Working alongside experienced researchers, this individual will use advanced cleanroom equipment, help refine qubit fabrication processes, conduct experimental measurements, and contribute to scientific research aimed at advancing quantum technologies. This is an opportunity for an early-career technical professional to develop specialized nanofabrication skills within a collaborative national laboratory environment.
The Molecular Foundry is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility that provides users from around the world with access to state-of-the-art expertise and instrumentation in nanoscale science. Joining our team means contributing directly to cutting-edge research in quantum materials and device engineering within a highly collaborative scientific community.
You will:
- Perform day-to-day fabrication of superconducting devices in support of the Foundry's quantum program.
- Support the development and refinement of recipe workflows for qubit fabrication.
- Work in a cleanroom environment using tools such as e-beam evaporators, scanning electron microscopes (SEM), lithography systems, and wet chemical benches.
- Assist with cryogenic characterization using a PPMS and dilution refrigerator to measure superconducting device performance metrics.
- Maintain accurate experimental records, sample tracking, and process documentation to support reproducibility across fabrication runs.
