We are looking to hire for Equipment Engineer Deposition Systems (UHV Sputtering / Evaporation / ALD)

As a Deposition Equipment Engineer at QpiAI, you will be responsible for operating, maintaining, and optimizing our thin-film deposition tools used in superconducting quantum processor fabrication. You will work closely with process engineers and device designers to ensure uniform, high-quality thin films across multi-layer metal stacks. The role involves preventive maintenance, vacuum system management, contamination control, and troubleshooting to maintain high tool uptime.

Requirements

MSc/M.Tech/PhD Degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field with a focus on quantum mechanics or quantum technology.

- Hands-on experience operating and maintaining UHV sputtering systems (DC/RF), including chamber conditioning, target handling, and deposition stability.
- Strong knowledge of thin-film processes for superconducting materials such as Nb, Al, TiN, multilayer metal stacks, and adhesion/barrier layers.




- Expertise in vacuum systems, including turbomolecular pumps, cryo pumps, gauges, leak detection, and vacuum troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with thermal and e-beam evaporation systems and/or ALD tools, with ability to maintain uniformity and repeatability.
- Experience monitoring film quality via XRD, ellipsometry, AFM, SEM, and stress measurement tools.
- Ability to execute and optimize preventive maintenance schedules, chamber cleans, and equipment calibration.
- Knowledge of contamination control, target poisoning, film purity, and chamber material interactions.
- Solid documentation, SPC/FDC data interpretation, and equipment-level root-cause troubleshooting skills.
