Available position Nanofabrication Expert, R&D (permanent position, 40 hour per week) Contact : (819) 975-4654, career@nordquantique.ca About Nord Quantique At Nord Quantique, we strive to build impactful technology by relentlessly pushing our understanding of quantum science. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, innovators, builders, and enthusiasts on a mission to make quantum computing a reality. Our quantum processors are designed to reduce errors in quantum computation to facilitate long-term scaling toward fully-fledged quantum computers. We believe it is our responsibility to deliver this transformative technology for the greater good of society. Located at the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships region in the province of Quebec, Canada, we develop our technology in the vibrant quantum ecosystem of Sherbrooke. Leaning on more than a decade of vertical integration of quantum hardware, we are leveraging a comprehensive pool of quantum technology and micro-electronic infrastructure to deploy our quantum computing technology Salary : $123,100 ? $167,000 Vacation: 5 weeks per year Benefits : Group insurance (including dental care), virtual care, lifestyle spending account (all available after 3 months of service) Our Current Needs We are scaling our activities alongside our quantum processors. In this effort, we want to expand our nanofabrication team by recruiting an exceptional individual with a strong R&D nanofabrication record. This person will play a key role in the Nanofabrication R&D team by working to improve the yield, performance, and reproducibility of superconducting devices. We are looking for a candidate with expertise in key strategic areas related to the nanofabrication of superconducting devices such as e-beam lithography, reactive ion etching, and metal deposition (sputtering & evaporation). The role requires strong organizational skills, the ability to manage time and priorities, and a collaborative mindset to drive projects to successful completion. Keys responsibilities: Work in the cleanroom to fabricate and deliver mission-critical devices, such as transmon qubits and tripole resonators, to the hardware team for measurement. Develop, benchmark and optimize nanofabrication processes for superconducting devices, focusing on performance and yield. Manage multiple projects simultaneously, effectively prioritizing resources to ensure timely and successful outcomes. Follow cleanroom protocols precisely while documenting fabrication processes, parameters, and outcomes in a clear and organized manner. Generate detailed technical reports to support knowledge sharing and team decisionmaking. Education and Experience Requirements: PhD in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, Quantum Information, or a related field Postdoctoral or industry experience in nanofabrication and materials metrology (an asset). Minimum of 4 years of hands-on experience developing and optimizing cleanroom processes in micro and nanofabrication facilities Proven experience delivering devices within a small team in an academic or industrial setting Extensive experience in understanding and solving nanofabrication problems Core Expertise: Strong foundation in nanofabrication process development and optimization Experienced with most of the following cleanroom techniques with deep mastery in at least one area: Lithography (e-beam or photolithography), metal deposition (e.g. evaporation, sputter), etching (ICP, RIE), wet chemistry processing (acids and bases). < Location Sherbrooke , QC Work location On site Salary $ 123,100 to $ 167,000 YEAR annually Terms of employment Permanent employment Full time Starts as soon as possible vacancies 2 vacancies Source Jobillico #17311181 Various locations Sherbrooke, QC
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN
That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
