The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Research Scientist specializing in hardware design for cryogenic environments. The candidate should have expertise in 3D CAD (Solid Works), thermal and structural FEA (Ansys/COMSOL), hardware design for cryogenic applications, design for manufacturing, and mechanical engineering principles. The candidate must have demonstrated driving designs through full product development cycles (requirements, conceptual design, detailed design, manufacturing, integration, and testing).

Candidates must have a strong background in both cryogenic mechanical engineering theory and implementation. Working effectively within a cross-functional team environment is critical.

• High density novel packaging solutions for quantum processor units.
• Cryogenic mechanical design for novel cryogenic signal conditioning sub-assemblies.
• Cryogenic mechanical design for signal delivery systems.
• Simulation driven designs (shielding, filtering, etc.) to reduce sources of EMI within the qubit environment.
• Own end-to-end product development through requirements, design reports, design reviews, assembly/testing documentation, and final delivery.

• Participate in requirements, design, and test reviews and communicate with internal stakeholders.
• Work cross-functionally to help drive decisions using your unique technical background and skill set.
• Refine and define standards and processes for operational excellence.
• Work in a high-paced, startup-like environment where you are provided the resources to innovate quickly.
