POSITION OVERVIEW

We are seeking an experienced and strategic Vice President of Nanofabrication Operations to lead the development, production, and scale-up of quantum processor fabrication. The successful candidate will play a pivotal role in driving innovation and operational excellence across our nanofabrication activities, from process development to wafer-level manufacturing and device packaging. You will build and lead a world-class team responsible for fabricating high-coherence superconducting quantum devices.
This is a senior leadership role requiring both deep technical expertise and proven operational leadership in nanofabrication environments, particularly in areas related to semiconducting, MEMS, or superconducting quantum circuits.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Ph.D. or M.Sc. in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or a related field.
• 10+ years of hands-on experience in nanofabrication of advanced semiconducting, superconducting, or MEMS devices.
• Proven leadership experience managing complex fab operations or R&D programs in a high-tech or research setting.
• Deep understanding of thin-film deposition, etching, lithography, and planarization techniques.
• Familiarity with superconducting materials and quantum device physics (e.g., Josephson junctions, resonators, qubits) is an asset.
• Track record of delivering high-yield, high-performance devices in cleanroom environments.
• Strong organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills.
• Demonstrated ability to operate strategically while remaining technically engaged.
• Experience working in a startup or scale-up environment is an asset.
• Bilingual in French and English (spoken and written) is required.

• Lead Anyon’s nanofabrication strategy for superconducting quantum processors and related device technologies.
• Oversee cleanroom operations, including process development, equipment planning, and workflow optimization.
• Build, mentor, and manage a high-performing nanofab team including process engineers, technicians, and packaging specialists.
• Collaborate with R&D, cryogenic hardware, and quantum device teams to align fabrication capabilities with system-level performance targets.
• Own yield improvement, process control, and quality assurance across fab operations.
• Establish and maintain partnerships with external foundries, universities, and research labs.
• Guide long-term roadmap planning for process technologies, tooling, and scale-up toward volume production.
• Support IP development and technology transfer activities.
• Represent nanofab operations in executive planning, customer engagements, and investor discussions.
