DESCRIPTION
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Hardware Development Engineer with experience in semiconductor process development who will aid in AWSs effort to bring cloud quantum computing services to its worldwide customer base. Through your work inside and outside of the cleanroom environment in the fabrication research and development group, you will solve problems related to the fabrication and characterization of novel quantum processors.
Key job responsibilities Responsibilities include developing, improving, and sustaining fabrication and packaging process flows; collecting and analyzing inline metrology and electrical test data; writing and maintaining production standard operating procedures; interacting with project leads to provide feedback that continuously improves the process. Candidates must have a demonstrated background in sound engineering principles, and must have good data analysis, problem solving, and communication skills and be highly motivated and curious to research and learn new technical topics as needed. Working effectively within a team environment is critical.
A day in the life The candidate will spend most of the day in a cleanroom environment, in a protective suit working with micro-/nano-fabrication tools to develop new processes to fabricate quantum computing chips.
About the team A fabrication team within AWS Center for Quantum computing is responsible for delivering quantum computing product chips and implementing groundbreaking process innovations.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
Pasadena, CA, USA

Any time you conduct a search, the system shows you job matches, ranked by their Relevance Score (RS).
The score is calculated by a proprietary algorithm that uses Intelligent Machine Learning.
The Relevance Score tells you how well the job opportunity matches your search term or terms.
When not logged in, the system is limited to one search term. Scores for single term matches are usually lower.
When you register, log in, and set up multiple terms prioritized by importance, the jobs found for you will receive a much higher Relevance Score.
