Senior or Principal Process Design Kit (PDK) Engineer

What you'll do

• Own the model-to-measurement characterization loop for cryogenic process primitives and test definitions.
• Develop and refine cryogenic PDK requirements for superconducting circuit technologies.
• Extend foundry PDK capabilities from room-temperature assumptions to cryogenic operating regimes.
• Plan, design, and analyze cryogenic characterization test chips for key primitives.
• Translate measurement results into accurate device models, design rules, and process guidance.
• Establish characterization infrastructure including design-of-experiments, data pipelines, and statistical summaries.
• Use EDA, layout, and physical-verification toolsets to support superconducting circuit design and validation.

• Master’s degree in a related field and 4+ years of technical engineering experience.
• Doctorate in a related field and 1+ year of industry or R&D experience.
• Ability to pass Microsoft Cloud Background Check and citizenship verification for export-controlled information.
• Ability to leverage AI tools for measurement, performance modeling, and task automation.
• Engineering degree and 12+ years of technical engineering experience (preferred).
• Master’s degree in a related field and 8+ years of technical engineering experience (preferred).
• Doctorate in a related field and 5+ years of technical engineering experience (preferred).
• Proficiency in semiconductor or superconducting process characterization, device modeling, and test-chip analysis (preferred).
• Proficiency in constructing and maintaining process-design kits and translating device behavior into models (preferred).
