Process Engineer positions to Quantum-Sensor Electronics Startup

AdamantQ is a deep-tech start-up dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art diamond-based quantum technology. We have two open vacancies for Process Engineer positions and are looking to hire at two different levels of seniority for this growing team. We are looking for process engineers with extensive experience in clean-room laboratory management and process development for microelectronics fabrication and assembly.

The role

As a Process Engineer at AdamantQ, your main responsibilities lie in the development and implementation for diamond-substrate based microfabrication processes and its assembly within electronic chip carriers. Our components rely on the meticulous electronic control of spin systems in artificial diamonds. You will work with the configuration, installation, and management of our deposition, assembly, and testing lines, for scalable micron-electrode fabrication and chip-carrier bonding and assembly.

The role will involve working within a multi-disciplinary team, with a broad skills base and wide range of technical backgrounds, to tackle the challenges of industrialising quantum sensor components for real commercial impact. The role presents significant opportunities for personal development and immediate contribution, as it builds technical planning and execution proficiency and insight to help shape our manufacturing and scaling strategies.

General Responsibilities

Develop, execute, and manage, clean-room-based electrode deposition, assembly, and bonding processes for irregular and non-wafer-based material substrates.
Investigate and implement fabrication strategies for optimising yield and process scaling.
Support and implementing DC/RF testing routines for micron-scale electronic circuitry.
Implement best-practice internal technical documentation and archiving of process and manufacturing development.
Coordinating and collaborate with external partners to execute fabrication goals and meet deadlines.
Develop an in-depth knowledge of a wide variety of semiconductor manufacturing processes.
Develop, maintain and improve production processes.
Ensure high levels of tool availability by effective process and tool control strategies.
Analyze, interpret, and respond to measured product data in a timely fashion.
Work closely with the Product Engineering and R&D teams for new product introduction.
Assist with fault finding and recovery of process tools and assist with developing improved tooling and tool support strategies.
Work within a cleanroom environment.
Work with various computer software packages including specialist or bespoke computer systems.
Adhere to all site safety and environmental procedures.

For senior applicants, further responsibilities would include:

Apply Lean techniques to improve process outcomes and tool performance.
Manage existing equipment and take charge of sourcing, procurement, and installation.
Analysis of tool and process data with continuous improvement based on SPC and 6-sigma principles.
Be able to push and manage other process-development projects as required.
Equipment cross-qualification to ensure continuity of supply and to improve component assembly capacity and reduced production cycle time.
Provide best-practice training.
Manage and lead a growing process and production team.

Required Profile

AdamantQ is seeking a self-starting, highly structured, and collaborative individual with the following profile:

A degree in a semiconductor-based discipline and 5-10 years of directly related experience.
Familiarity with SPC, 6 sigma, and similar methodologies, is a plus
Knowledge of manufacturing execution systems (MES), is a plus.
Knowledge of photonic integrated circuit manufacture would be an advantage.
Experience within a high-technology manufacturing or production environment is an advantage.
A person who excels in role with a high degree of independence and accountability.
Ability to drive initiative with limited oversight, and be a technical anchor.

Other requirements:

Strong attention to technical details.
Excellent attendance, timekeeping, and punctuality.
Self-motivated and dependable with good communication skills.
Must have a professional attitude to work and to colleagues.
Ability to demonstrate flexibility in working hours when necessary to meet business demands.
