About Us

QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a hyper-growth scale-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world's largest quantum processors as fast as possible.

At QuantWare, we're not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we're working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That's where you come in.

As a Semiconductor Equipment Engineer , you will play a critical role in scaling our manufacturing capabilities. Working in a small, high-ownership team, your mission is to bring new tools online fast and keep them running with exceptional reliability. These tools range from high-vacuum nanofabrication tools (lithography, etching, deposition), to dilution refrigerators, and from advanced characterization equipment to lab equipment.

What you'll be doing

• Lead end-to-end installations with OEMs: planning, FAT/SAT, and through IQ/OQ to get capacity qualified and in production as early as possible

• Own preventive maintenance: define and continuously optimize PM schedules, spares, and documentation to maximize uptime

• Drive corrective maintenance: rapid troubleshooting, deep root-cause analysis, permanent corrective actions, and clear reporting

• Build the new fab: support the commissioning of our state-of-the-art cleanroom and nanofab line-part of our multi-million investment in scaling manufacturing

• Tight process-equipment alignment: work closely with Process Engineering to ensure equipment capabilities, process requirements and factory operations stay in lock-step

• Co-own tool sourcing with Process Engineering, Procurement and R&D: translate process needs into clear tool specs, align with site/facility requirements, and build a process-equipment roadmap

• Own facilities interfaces once operational: gas, vacuum, cryogenic, electrical, cooling water, chemical and exhaust systems tied to your tools; coordinate upgrades as the cleanroom ramps

• 4+ years of hands-on experience installing, maintaining, and debugging advanced equipment (ideally in commercial cleanrooms)

• Experience with high-vacuum tools, ideally semiconductor nanofabrication equipment

• Familiarity with cryogenic or dilution refrigerator systems is a strong plus

• Relevant technical degree or equivalent background in for example instrumentation/experimental physics, electrical engineering, mechatronics

• Systematic problem solver with strong planning and coordination skills

• Comfortable working under time pressure in a fast-moving startup environment

• Self-driven, team-oriented, and able to operate with minimal oversight and high ownership
