Job Description Summary The Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute at UBC (Blusson QMI) is a world-leading venture advancing research into solid-state systems and phenomena that explicitly involve quantum mechanics. Core areas of expertise include the development of materials and methods of fashioning them into functional devices that display remarkable new paradigms of operation. Blusson QMI has invested heavily in a state-of-the-art JEOL JBX-8100FS 100 kV vector-scan electron-beam lithography tool to enable device fabrication at the nanoscale where quantum properties manifest. The Electron-Beam Lithography & Process Engineer is the dedicated senior expert and single point of accountability for this tool across all operational, technical, and client-facing dimensions. The role owns the full exploitation of the JBX-8100FS as a revenue-generating asset that supports Blusson QMI's primary mission of academic research by delivering consistent, reliable, high-resolution patterning services to both internal academic researchers and external industrial partners under NDA-protected, fee-for-service-driven contracts. While the primary responsibility is ensuring optimal functioning of the JEOL JBX-8100FS (including user/client training, scheduling, and service delivery), the Engineer will be encouraged to actively contribute technical expertise to ongoing academic research projects when strategic opportunities arise, thereby supporting the Institute's core mission of advancing quantum-matter science. The Engineer plans, designs, and delivers complete micro- and nano-fabrication engineering solutions for multiple concurrent projects, working independently with a proactive and creative spirit while collaborating closely with colleagues. A core part of the mandate is to advance Blusson QMI's industry-service business model by translating partner-company requirements into manufacturable, yield-critical device processes and interacting directly with stakeholders at the highest technical and executive levels (C-level, VP, and principal engineers). The post holder has a duty to ensure that all tasks conducted within Blusson QMI labs are performed in a safe manner that conforms to current legislation and workplace protocols. The role will also support Blusson QMI's strategic shift toward a sustainable industry-service model. The Engineer will actively support the growth of commercial partnerships by translating company device requirements into high-value nanofabrication deliverables, contributing directly to the Facility's reputation as a preferred partner for quantum, photonics, semiconductor, and advanced-materials companies. Organizational Status The Electron-Beam Lithography & Process Engineer reports to the Blusson QMI Facilities Director. The post holder will work independently and proactively, making frequent use of Blusson QMI cleanroom facilities and collaborating closely with other facility staff to deliver industry-standard results. Work Performed The Electron-Beam Lithography & Process Engineer will support multiple concurrent commercial and academic research projects end-to-end, owning the micro- and nano-fabrication aspects from initial device specification through to functional, yield-critical deliverables. This senior role requires ownership of Blusson QMI's JEOL JBX-8100FS (100 kV vector-scan system) as a revenue-generating, client-facing asset that serves both internal academic researchers and external industrial partners. The Engineer will translate partner company requirements into manufacturable processes, produce detailed specifications and documentation for device and process development, qualify new processes to strict industry standards, and perform root-cause failure analysis with cor
