Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) (Nasdaq: QUBT) is an innovative, integrated photonics company that provides accessible and affordable quantum machines to the world today. QCi products are designed to operate at room temperature and low power at an affordable cost. The Company’s portfolio of core technology and products offer unique capabilities in the areas of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, cyber security as well as remote sensing applications.

The Senior Process Engineer provides senior-level ownership of assigned semiconductor fabrication process areas and tools. This role leads Process Development, troubleshooting, documentation, Quality Methods, and continuous improvement while partnering closely with integration engineers, operators, technicians, equipment teams, and management. The successful candidate will bring deep expertise in at least one of the following process modules: CMP (chemical mechanical polish), Metal Plating, Dry Etch, Dielectric Deposition, or Metal Deposition.

• Own an assigned fab process area and its associated tools, serving as the primary engineering point of contact for process performance, issues, and improvements.
• Lead Process Development, optimization, qualification, and documentation of new semiconductor processes and unit operations using established Quality Methods.
• Partner with the site integration engineering team to translate technical requirements into process plans, experiments, data collection strategies, and executable process flows.
• Plan and execute demonstrations of new products, processes, and process flows; evaluate results and recommend next steps.
• Apply DOE (design of experiments), analyze process data, and use statistical methods to evaluate and improve Process Capability, uniformity, yield, repeatability, and control.
• Maintain accurate process documentation, specifications, recipes, work instructions, and wafer/lot processing records.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance to process engineers, associate engineers, operators, and technicians supporting the assigned area.
• Work with equipment engineering and maintenance teams to troubleshoot tool-related process issues and restore stable operation; this position partners on equipment issues but is not primarily responsible for hands-on equipment maintenance.
• Lead cross-functional process development and continuous improvement efforts across process modules.
• Interface effectively with operators, technicians, integration engineers, management, suppliers, and other internal partners.
• Maintain a safe, organized work environment and follow all cleanroom, chemical handling, labeling, housekeeping, and waste-disposal requirements.

• Bachelor's degree in engineering, technology, physical science, mathematics, or another relevant STEM discipline.
• 10+ years of semiconductor process engineering experience, including substantial depth in at least one of the following areas: CMP (chemical mechanical polish), Metal Plating, Dry Etch, Dielectric Deposition, or Metal Deposition.
• Hands-on experience with the tooling and process fundamentals associated with at least one targeted module, such as wafer polishers or grinders, Metal Plating systems, ICP Dry Etch platforms, Dielectric Deposition tools, or Metal Deposition tools.
• Experience supporting new process development, process transfer, or process optimization in a semiconductor fab or comparable development environment.
• Strong knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes and demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot complex process problems.
• Experience with data analysis, Quality…
