Xanadu’s mission is to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere.At Xanadu, we are learners, innovators, researchers, collaborators and problem solvers. We are creating something that has never been built before. What we are doing is extremely hard, the classic moon shot. Few people in their life will be able to be a part of something like this, where if we are successful, the technologies we develop will solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, and literally change the world. And that is something to be excited about!Your role and responsibilities:As an industry leader in photonic quantum computing, Xanadu takes hardware very seriously! In this role, you will work within the Fabrication Process Engineering team to deliver Xanadu’s photonic quantum computing hardware. With your deep technical expertise and strong experience in photonics and/or semiconductor metrology, you will be responsible for developing, improving and refining metrology protocols used to develop critical components of Xanadu’s quantum computing hardware.Operate ellipsometry and AFM tools, including creating measurement recipes, optimizing data collection and analysis routines, and performing routine data analysis/modelingInnovate and improve upon metrology protocols to achieve higher resolution measurements of key parameters, enable measurements of hard-to-measure features, etc, differentiating between samples with extremely small differences, while ensuring timely execution of routineSynthesize complex physics and implement statistical methodologies to rigorously correlate in‑fab metrology with offline characterization.Link the material property outputs of metrology to critical device parameters on a variety of different technology platformsJustify process shifts and trend variances by anchoring data‑driven insights in fundamental material science principles.Coordinate with internal software development and data analysis teams to improve data quality and enable quantitative modeling and decision makingInnovate in the space of metrology and failure analysisStay abreast of new developments in the fields of metrology and failure analysis, especially related to materials in photonicsBasic qualifications and experience:MS or PhD in materials science, physics, nanoengineering or related field≥ 3 years of experience developing metrology flows for photonics and/or semiconductor chip fabricationDirect, first‑hand experience with measurements, recipe building and data modelling for Ellipsometry and AFMExperience working in a foundry/lab setting for integrated photonics and/or semiconductor productsDemonstrated track record of method development, innovation and making improvements in the field of integrated photonics and/or semiconductor metrologyExperience with material characterization for multiple material systems for semiconductors and photonics, such as silicon‑based materials, dielectrics, crystalline electro‑optic materials, III‑Vs, etc.Strong critical thinking skillsDemonstrated ability to tackle challenging problems and develop innovative solutionsExcellent communication skills and strong sense of teamworkAbility to travel for work up to ~25% timePreferred qualifications and experience:≥ 5 years of experience developing inline and/or offline metrology flows for photonics and/or semiconductor chip fabrication, as well as working with an MESFamiliarity with several additional standard semiconductor and photonics metrology and failure analysis techniques, including some subset of: SEM, TEM, defect inspection, XRR/XRD, SIMSExperience coordinating with and managing external partners,
