About the job
Google's custom-designed machines make up one of the largest and most powerful computing infrastructures in the world. The Hardware Testing Engineering team ensures that this cutting-edge equipment is reliable. In the R&D lab, you design test equipment for prototypes of our machinery and develop the protocols used to scale these tests for the entire global team. Working closely with design engineers, you give input on designs to improve our hardware until you're sure it meets Google's standards of quality and reliability.
As a Wafer Fabrication Technician, you will work with hardware engineers to fabricate devices at a wafer level. You will be a critical part of ensuring the smooth operation of Wafer Fabrication processing infrastructure by ensuring the same level of device quality and accurate documentation. You will also be responsible for performing Statistical Process Control (SPC) measurements to monitor process health. This role is essential for Google Quantum AI to build scalable and reliable electronics for the next level of computing.
The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI's mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.
