About The Position

The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) team is looking to hire an
Electro-Mechanical Assembly, Integration, & Testing (AIT) 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, hardware
integration, maintenance, and servicing cryogenic test setups; maintaining and
organizing R&D lab infrastructure and facilities; composing technical documents,
and technical troubleshooting. The ideal candidate should have a strong
background in engineering principles; and basic data analysis, problem solving,
and communication skills. Working effectively within a team environment is
critical.

The primary responsibility of this role is cryogenic operations, which includes
hardware integration and reconfiguration, documentation, and quantum processor
integration. In addition, the scope of the role also includes assembly,
integration, and testing of novel cryogenic RF/Microwave hardware.

You will work across teams to reconfigure, assemble, integrate, 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 along side
cryogenic hardware engineers supporting assembly, integration, and testing novel
hardware projects. The ideal candidate should embrace a fast-paced startup
environment—they must be able to learn quickly, operate independently,
communicate clearly, and consistently demonstrate reliability.

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.
