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 continuously push the boundaries of this future technology.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct 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 for specific failure analysis and materials development questions, including Raman, IR, XPS, EDS, EELS, XRD, AES, AFM, and other techniques.
• Analyze and interpret data generated by materials characterization methods, applying standard materials science knowledge of crystal...
