About QET Sweden

QET Sweden is a Swedish quantum technology company stemming from research at Chalmers University of Technology and the Wallenberg Centre for Quantum Technology. We develop and deliver superconducting components for quantum systems, with a strong focus on Travelling-Wave Parametric Amplifiers (TWPAs). Our work sits at the intersection of deep-tech R&D and real-world product delivery—where repeatability, quality, and hands-on execution matter.

The Role

We are looking for a cleanroom engineer to take ownership of key parts of our microfabrication and lab workflow—supporting the build-up of robust, repeatable processes as the company grows. This is a hands-on role with a strong focus on practical execution, process discipline, and high-quality outcomes.

This position is initially a temporary replacement (parental leave) for approximately one year, with a strong likelihood of a permanent role depending on business needs and performance.

What you’ll do

• Run and support cleanroom processes such as wet processing, lithography-related steps, thin film deposition, etching and related workflow steps
• Operate and maintain cleanroom and lab equipment, including supporting documentation, checklists, and basic troubleshooting
• Support device handling and assembly work, including chip handling, bonding/assembly steps, and mounting in measurement setups/cryostats when needed
• Work with measurement equipment and analyse data to validate process and device quality
• Contribute to process improvements and ensure a stable, scalable workflow as volumes increase

Must-have qualifications

• MSc in Engineering/Physics/Materials/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent practical experience)
• Hands-on cleanroom experience and comfort working independently in a process environment
• Strong practical mindset: careful execution, documentation discipline, and attention to detail
• Comfortable using measurement equipment and analysing data
• Structured, reliable, and comfortable working toward deadlines in a lab/production setting

Nice-to-have

• Knowledge of quantum physics / superconducting devices
• Experience with cryogenic setups or device mounting in cryostats
• Experience with chip bonding/assembly and laboratory fixtures
• Experience improving or industrialising lab processes (documentation, calibration routines, quality checks)

What we offer

• Opportunity to work with technology that is shaping the future of quantum systems
• A collaborative, hands-on environment with short decision paths
• A key role in building scalable processes and quality in a growing company
• Professional development in a deep-tech setting
