🚀 We’re hiring at the Quantum Device Lab at ETH Zurich!
Are you passionate about micro- and nanofabrication and eager to advance the frontiers of quantum technology?
We are looking for a Cleanroom Fabrication Engineer (100%, Zurich, fixed-term) to join our interdisciplinary group at the Quantum Device Lab (@qudev), within the Department of Physics (@ETH_physics) and affiliated with the @ETHQuantumCntr at @ETH_en.
In this role, you will play a central part in scaling our superconducting quantum processor chips incorporating tens to hundreds of qubits as we push toward building large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers.
🔬 What You’ll Be Doing
As our Cleanroom Fabrication Engineer, you will bridge state-of-the-art semiconductor processing with cutting-edge quantum physics:
• Device Fabrication & Process Development: Execute and optimize micro- and nanofabrication runs while pioneering novel processing techniques—such as high-aspect-ratio Through-Silicon-Vias (TSVs) via deep reactive-ion etching (DRIE) and conformal thin-film deposition.
• Yield Improvement & Metrology: Establish rigorous process control and systematic inspection routines to continuously boost fabrication yield for complex quantum chips.
• Coherence Optimization: Work hand-in-hand with fabrication engineers and experimental physicists across our lab to evaluate how fabrication parameters directly impact qubit coherence metrics.
• World-Class Cleanroom Facilities: Utilize state-of-the-art infrastructure across three leading cleanrooms in the Zurich area:
– FIRST at ETH Hönggerberg: first.ethz.ch
– BRNC at IBM Research Rüschlikon: brnc.ethz.ch
– PICO at Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) Villigen: psi.ch/en/lmn/cleanro…
🎯 Who We’re Looking For
• Education: Master’s degree (or PhD) in micro/nanofabrication, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on Cleanroom Background: Practical experience in lithography, dry/wet etching, thin-film deposition, and surface metrology.
• Mindset & Skills: Strong attention to detail, structured work habits, excellent teamwork, and fluency in English.
📍 Key Info & Application Link
📍 Location: Zurich, Switzerland
🏛 Lab & Dept: Quantum Device Lab (qudev.ethz.ch) | D-PHYS (phys.ethz.ch) | ETH Quantum Center (qc.ethz.ch)
❓ Inquiries: Direct position questions to @BesseJC (no applications via email).
📩 How to Apply: Applications are accepted exclusively through the ETH online portal: emea2.softfactors.com/job-opening/rg…
Help us build the next generation of scalable quantum computers—apply today or repost/tag someone in your network who would be a great fit! 🔬✨
