About the role
About Us QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in! As a Senior Semiconductor Equipment Engineer, you will take a leading role in building and scaling our semiconductor manufacturing capability. You will own some of our most critical and complex equipment from specification and installation through qualification, production ramp, maintenance, and continuous improvement. Working in a fast moving environment, you will combine strong hands-on engineering skills with technical leadership, supplier coordination, and long-term equipment strategy. Our equipment landscape includes advanced nanofabrication tools for lithography, plasma etching, thin film deposition, wet processing, dicing and metrology. You will be expected not only to solve equipment problems, but also to establish robust ways of working as our manufacturing organization and cleanroom infrastructure continue to scale. What you'll be doing • Take end-to-end technical ownership of new equipment installations, from requirements review and facility readiness through FAT, incoming inspection,installation, IQ/OQ, qualification, and handover to production. • Play a key role in bringing new cleanroom and manufacturing capacity online, coordinating equipment moves, installations, facility hookups, OEM activities, commissioning, and production readiness. • Develop and improve preventive and predictive maintenance strategies, spare-parts plans, service requirements, equipment documentation, and reliability improvement programs. • Resolve equipment failures through systematic troubleshooting and root-cause analysis. Implement permanent corrective actions and ensure lessons learned are captured and shared. • Act as a technical reference for other equipment engineers and technicians. Support and mentor colleagues, review technical work, and help establish strong engineering standards across the equipment organization. • Coordinate closely with equipment manufacturers, field service engineers, contractors, and suppliers. Challenge technical proposals where necessary and ensure actions, documentation, and deliverables are completed. • Ensure equipment requirements for electrical power, process gases, vacuum, exhaust, cooling water, chilled water, chemicals, cryogenics, and other utilities are clearly defined and correctly implemented. • Establish and continuously improve installation procedures, maintenance standards, checklists, troubleshooting guides, equipment specifications, acceptance criteria, and engineering change practices. • Use equipment performance data, failure history, maintenance records, and operational feedback to improve uptime, maintainability, safety, and cost of ownership. Your Profile • Significant hands-on experience with semiconductor, nanofabrication, or similarly complex manufacturing equipment. • Strong experience with installation, commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, and qualification of production equipment. • Extensive experience with high-vacuum systems such as PVD, CVD. • Good understanding of equipment utilities and facility interfaces including electrical power, gases, vacuum, exhaust, cooling systems, and chemical services. • Demonstrated ability to independently troubleshoot complex electrical, mechanical, vacuum, pneumatic, control, an
