As R&D Fabrication Engineer, you will shape the next generation of reliable, error-protected quantum processors. You will design, refine, and oversee fabrication workflows, crafting reproducible, high-yield processes that transform proprietary QPU architectures into real, functioning hardware
Joining Peak Quantum at this early stage means your contributions will have direct, visible impact. You will take on ownership and responsibility well beyond a standard engineering role, and as we grow, you will have the chance to grow personally into leading roles.
Along the way, you will gain first-hand experience with cutting-edge fabrication methods and state-of-the-art tools, working side by side with a team that combines deep academic expertise with practical engineering focus. You will be supported with mentoring and training to expand your skills and establish yourself as a specialist in quantum hardware development.
What You’ll Do
Develop and refine fabrication protocols for high-coherence superconducting circuits and our novel error-protected qubit designs: including lithography, deposition, etching, and process control.
Enhance reliability and yield by improving process stability, throughput, and reproducibility.
Translate cutting-edge research into production, adapting and deploying experimental fabrication techniques in a highly controlled clean-room environment.
Partner cross-functionally with design, measurement, and system-integration teams to ensure seamless device progression from wafer to testbed.
Document and analyse results, using structured feedback loops and data to drive continuous improvement.
Who You Are
You have a MSc in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a closely related field (a PhD is a strong advantage).
You have hands-on cleanroom experience: from e-beam or UV lithography to thin-film deposition (PVD), etches, lift-off, and process diagnostics.
You are comfortable working with or developing superconducting circuits or cryogenic devices (experience highly valued).
You are methodical, precise, and data-driven: you understand the importance of process control, statistical analysis, and tooling oversight.
You thrive in collaborative, fast-paced R&D environments where experimentation is expected and rapid learning is celebrated.
You are a great communicator and strong collaborator across design, fabrication and measurement teams.
We know that great talent comes in many forms. Even if you do not meet every point on this list, we strongly encourage you to apply. We welcome diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives, and we are ready to teach.
What We Offer
Mission-driven innovation: Work at the forefront of quantum processor development with genuine technical ownership from day one.

As a Quantum Design Engineer at Peak Quantum, you will play a central role in creating and refining the architectures that make our processors inherently error-protected. Unlike conventional qubit design, your work will focus not only on maximizing coherence and fidelity, but also on embedding error mitigation directly into the hardware layout and circuit topology.
At this early stage, your designs will move quickly from simulation to fabrication to measurement. You will collaborate closely with fabrication and measurement engineers, ensuring that theoretical advances become manufacturable devices that push the frontier of scalable quantum computing.
What You’ll Do
Design and simulate superconducting qubits and multi-qubit circuits, focusing on both high coherence and intrinsic error resilience.
Develop novel architectures that reduce the need for external error correction by leveraging design-level protection.
Benchmark decoherence mechanisms and engineer circuit geometries that minimize loss, crosstalk, and noise sensitivity.
Extend design workflows by combining electromagnetic solvers (e.g. Ansys HFSS or similar) with circuit-level and custom simulation tools.
Collaborate across disciplines to integrate design with fabrication recipes and measurement protocols.
Document and analyse results, using structured feedback loops and data to drive continuous improvement.
Who You Are
MSc or PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Expertise in superconducting qubits, circuit QED, or microwave quantum devices.
Proficiency with electromagnetic and circuit simulation tools (e.g. HFSS, Sonnet, COMSOL, Qiskit Metal, or equivalent).
Strong grasp of decoherence mechanisms and approaches to mitigate them through design.
Experienced in bridging simulation and experimental data.
Clear communicator and strong collaborator across design, fabrication, and measurement teams.
We know that great talent comes in many forms. Even if you do not meet every point on this list, we strongly encourage you to apply. We welcome diverse backgrounds, skill sets, and perspectives, and we are ready to teach.
What We Offer
Mission-driven innovation: Design hardware that is intrinsically error-protected, directly shaping the path to scalable quantum computing.
