Process Engineer - Semiconductor Processes

This full-time position at Quandela in Palaiseau, France, involves developing and stabilizing semiconductor fabrication processes to bridge the gap between research and production. The engineer will focus on transforming new process building blocks into robust, repeatable, and scalable manufacturing methods. Day-to-day tasks include optimizing dry etching techniques, specifically inductively coupled plasma and reactive ion etching, as well as plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and metal evaporation. The role requires validating new equipment, defining process windows and recipes, and using structured experimentation like Design of Experiments to improve yield and throughput. Candidates must possess a strong understanding of semiconductor fabrication and rigorous experimental methodology to investigate complex interactions between process parameters and device performance. The position is highly hands-on and requires close collaboration with R&D teams, fabrication engineers, equipment owners, and cleanroom operators. The advert does not specify required qualifications, years of experience, or language requirements. It also does not detail the working arrangement regarding office presence, hybrid options, or shift patterns. This role suits individuals who can combine advanced process development with manufacturing engineering to support the industrialization of quantum computing hardware.
