Last Mile Integration Engineer, Center Quantum Computing

Overview

The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We are looking for a Last Mile Integration Engineer to ensure the successful deployment and integration of instruments and computing infrastructure in our quantum computing labs. As part of the Signals team, you will serve as the critical link between hardware/software development and operational readiness, ensuring that our scientists have reliable, well-configured systems to conduct experiments.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on hardware skills with software proficiency and IT/networking knowledge to deploy, configure, troubleshoot, and maintain complex laboratory systems.

• Own end-to-end integration of RF test systems including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, DMMs, and power meters
• Design, develop, and maintain automation scripts and frameworks leveraging industry-standard protocols (SCPI, VISA, GPIB, LXI, USB-TMC)
• Drive root cause analysis for system-level integration failures spanning hardware and software; implement corrective actions and document findings for future reference
• Partner with hardware, software, and operations engineering teams to identify and resolve blocking issues in test infrastructure
• Define and implement lab infrastructure management processes including inventory tracking, equipment lifecycle management, and spare parts optimization
• Lead calibration activities, measurement validation, and continuous improvement of test automation capabilities
• Establish remote debugging capabilities and participate in on-call rotation to ensure operational readiness
• Champion lab safety standards and ensure compliance with ESD, RF exposure, and high-voltage protocols

You will collaborate daily with cross-functional engineering teams—including hardware, software, and operations—to drive hands-on integration and troubleshooting in a fast-paced lab environment. This role requires a bias for action, the ability to operate independently under tight deadlines, and a proven track record of delivering results when the pressure is highest.

The Signals team develops and deploys hardware used in the control and readout of Amazon superconducting quantum processors. We are a team with diverse talent set, spanning embedded software to cryogenic microwave design and device bring-up.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.
