In this role, you help turn quantum chip designs into real wafers with consistent quality and reliable lead times. You will implement wafer-level QPU and test wafer production in our cleanroom, follow well-defined routes in our MES, and keep production moving when reality does what it usually does in a lab. Your work supports smooth deliveries and gives our teams dependable hardware to test, learn, and improve.

What will I be doing?

• Run wafer-level QPU and chip production processes in the cleanroom, including lithography, metallization, etching, metrology, dicing, wet processes, thermal processes, and chemical handling

• Execute production based on MES process routes and standard operating procedures

• Follow the planned schedule and raise blockers early, then troubleshoot and reschedule together with your team lead and cross teams

• Support just in time production and lean ways of working in daily operations

• Improve production readiness by reviewing and testing MES routes, SPC limits, and standard operating procedures, and by giving clear feedback to MES developer and IT

• Handle cleanroom chemicals safely and track consumption to keep stock levels healthy

• Manage production material lifecycle in the cleanroom together with the Material Specialist

• Report abnormal process situations and work with process engineers and equipment engineers to drive corrective actions

• Coordinate day to day with fabrication, cleanroom, packaging and quality, facilities, and delivery teams to align on requirements and timing

• Stay close to equipment status by collaborating with equipment engineers and escalating when needed

• Report incidents, near misses, and accidents to the Team Leader and Health and Safety responsible person

What skills do I need?

• Degree from a university of applied sciences or equivalent in a relevant technical field

• At least 5 years of hands-on laboratory experience, ideally in a cleanroom or semiconductor style environment

• Practical experience running wafer processes and working with process documentation and traceable records

• Strong discipline in following standard operating procedures to achieve consistent results

• Confidence working with chemicals and a clear commitment to safe cleanroom practices

• Ability to describe problems and possible solutions clearly to colleagues who understand fabrication in general but may not know the details

• A team mindset: you respect other people’s work, keep good records, and communicate smoothly across teams

• Comfortable working with schedules and priorities in a production environment

What skills are nice to have?

• Experience with manufacturing execution systems, process routes, and production tracking

• Familiarity with SPC thinking and basic production quality controls

• Experience supporting lean improvements or just in time production

• Background in superconducting devices, microfabrication, or quantum chip related work

What can I expect from IQM?

An opportunity to work with a passionate and diverse team on an important mission.

A unique chance to make a real impact on the future of quantum computing.

Growth and progress in a creative and open start-up environment.
