Senior Principal Process Design Kit Pdk Engineer United States Washington Redmond

This role leads the model-to-measurement characterization loop for cryogenic process primitives, focusing on test definition, data analysis, and parameter extraction for superconducting circuit technologies. The incumbent develops and refines cryogenic PDK requirements, partners with foundries to extend process capabilities to low-temperature regimes, and establishes robust characterization infrastructure using design-of-experiments methods. Key duties include planning cryogenic test chips, collaborating with device and quantum-hardware teams, and leveraging AI tools to accelerate hardware discovery and efficiency.
