Job  | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Electro-Mechanical AIT Specialist (Electro-Mechanical Assembly, Integration, & Testing Specialist). Candidates must have experience in assembling and testing complex electrical and mechanical systems. The candidate will work with cryogenic systems, microwave electronics, and support hardware. Responsibilities include mechanical assembly, maintenance, and servicing cryogenic test setups;

maintaining and organizing R&D lab infrastructure and facilities; composing technical documents, and technical troubleshooting. Candidates must have a strong background in engineering principles, and must have basic data analysis, problem solving, and communication skills. Working effectively within a team environment is critical.

• Operate the cryogenic systems, including reconfiguration, documentation, and quantum processor integration.
• Perform assembly, integration, and testing of novel cryogenic RF/Microwave hardware.
• Reconfigure, assemble, test, and operate cryogenic systems weekly.
• Coordinate with stakeholders on reconfiguration requirements, documentation, scheduling, and integration of new devices.
• Collaborate with Cryogenic Hardware engineers on assembly, integration, and testing of novel hardware projects.
• Operate independently, communicate clearly, and demonstrate reliability in a fast‑paced startup environment.

You will work within the Cryogenic Hardware team and alongside the Test and Measurement team to reconfigure, assemble, test, and operate cryogenic systems weekly. You will coordinate with stakeholders on reconfiguration requirements, documentation, scheduling, and integration of new devices. In addition to cryogenic systems operations, you will work alongside Cryogenic Hardware engineers with assembly, integration, and testing novel hardware projects.
