Full Job Description

Do you want to make an impact on quantum computing hardware development through computational science and engineering? Do you thrive when working with scientists and engineers from diverse backgrounds in a multidisciplinary environment? The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is seeking to hire an Applied Science Manager to help lead a team in the development and testing of novel superconducting quantum devices. Work of the Device R&D team spans a broad spectrum of technical areas, including quantum and microwave electronics, semiconductor and superconducting device physics, nano- and micro-fabrication, and materials science. The work of the R&D team involves both fail-fast, exploratory work, as well as device engineering and functional yield testing/analysis. A Senior Applied Science Manager on the Device R&D team must have a broad technical base, covering the theory and physics of semiconductor and superconducting devices, precision measurement of qubits, device fabrication, and materials science. For this specific role we are looking for someone who has deep expertise in precision electronic measurement at the quantum level, and who can help lead our efforts to measure qubits, resonators, and other superconducting components. They should have deep technical knowledge of low-noise electrical measurements at cryogenic temperatures. We are also looking for someone with experience in device yield analysis techniques, and who has a strong device physics background and can work with our theory team to optimize the performance of our devices. In addition to expertise in test and measurement and device theory, the ideal candidate will have experience in device fabrication and materials characterization. Key job responsibilities Key job responsibilities - Hire and develop Applied Scientists that build physical design and simulation software - Partner with science teams to understand needs and drive adoption of improved methods and tooling - Influence engineering tea
