Materials Scientist II

About the role

D-Wave is seeking a creative, energetic, and self‑motivated Materials Scientist to join our Processor Development (PD) team. The PD team is composed of experienced and talented superconducting designers, fabrication engineers, software developers, and scientists who work together to create the processors at the heart of our quantum computer and are constantly pushing the boundaries of tomorrow’s technology.

What you’ll do

• Failure analysis of superconducting chips made in CMOS fabrication facilities using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy (FIB‑SEM)
• Determine the best analysis technique to answer specific questions during failure analysis and materials development, including techniques like Raman, IR, XPS, EDS, EELS, XRD, AES, AFM, and others
• Analyze/interpret data generated by materials‑characterization methods, using standard materials science knowledge of c...
