Quantum Hardware Developer

A successful candidate will provide technical leadership to a multidisciplinary team of engineers and scientists, defining and executing the process integration strategy for IBM's next generations of quantum processors. The ideal candidate will bring extensive experience and recognized expertise in advanced semiconductor and quantum processor manufacturing, with a proven track record of developing, integrating, and scaling complex fabrication processes in a production environment.

The candidate will independently lead cross-functional programs across research, development, and manufacturing organizations, driving technical decision-making and resource allocation to achieve aggressive performance, yield, and scalability targets. This role requires deep understanding of quantum device fabrication, process integration, manufacturing variability, and yield optimization, as well as the ability to identify and implement innovative process solutions that advance qubit performance and manufacturability.

The candidate is expected to serve as a subject matter expert in quantum processor manufacturing, influencing technical direction across the organization and mentoring both engineers and scientists. They will communicate results through high-impact patents, publications, and executive-level technical reviews, while representing IBM as a recognized leader at industry conferences, professional societies, and external collaborations.
