Essential Responsibilities

• Lead development of superconducting interconnect and interposer integration processes (e.g., Nb, Al, In, superconducting liners, redistribution layers).
• Develop 2.5D and 3D cryogenic interposer architectures for quantum systems.
• Define routing, metallization, and integration schemes optimized for:
  • Low-loss RF/microwave signal propagation
  • Minimal thermal leakage
  • Cryogenic reliability
• Own end-to-end integration of interposer and interconnect flows across:
  • Wafer-level processes (RDL, TSV/TOV, via formation)
  • Die-level integration (bump, bonding, assembly interfaces)
• Drive process integration planning to enable new capabilities and prototyping across programs.
• Architect and integrate multi-die quantum packaging solutions, including:
  • Qubit die + control electronics
  • Superconducting interposers
• Support chiplet-style and system-level integration for scalable quantum systems.
• Translate system-level requirements into interconnect density, pitch, and routing specifications.
• Enable early-stage prototyping lots, ensuring smooth execution through fab and assembly lines.
• Support transition to manufacturable, scalable flows.
• Support integration strategies to improve yield and manufacturability and reduce cost/cycle time.
• Identify and drive understanding of failure modes, including:
  • Interconnect degradation
  • Cryogenic stress-induced defects
  • Interface reliability issues
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collaborate with device and test teams to ensure interconnect solutions:
  • Preserve qubit performance (coherence, noise)
  • Meet cryogenic electrical and thermal constraints
• Support system-level validation and characterization at cryogenic conditions
• Develop expertise in:
  • Superconducting materials and interfaces
  • Low-temperature material behavior and integration challenges
• Work with equipment and suppliers to define process/tool requirements for:
  • Superconducting metallization
  • Interposer fabrication
  • Advanced 3DHI integration
• Interface across:
  • Device / qubit teams
  • Assembly, bump, and TSV integration teams
  • Reliability and modeling teams
• Collaborate with OSATs, suppliers, and research partners to co-develop interconnect technologies.
• Drive next-generation interconnect scaling (pitch, density, materials) aligned with quantum system scaling needs
• Contribute to advanced packaging roadmap (APPC / cryo 3DHI).
• Identify and evaluate emerging interconnect technologies and integration schemes.
• Generate:
  • Integration flow documentation
  • Process specs and design rules
• Provide technical reports and progress updates to internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to IP, publications, and conference outputs.

Other Responsibilities

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements and programs.
• Take part in hiring of other Advanced Packaging team members in Singapore.
