About The Position

The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) team is looking to hire an
Electrical Assembly & Testing Engineer. This role builds, tests, and calibrates
delicate electronic components for quantum computing systems. Candidates must
have experience in precision electronics assembly, micro-electronics
integration, and basic DC/RF measurements. The candidate will work with
cryogenic RF/microwave systems, quantum processor electronics, and precision
electrical test equipment. Responsibilities include precision soldering and
assembly of PCBs as well as cable assemblies for cryogenic systems, following
technical drawings while adhering to strict ESD and cleanliness protocols. The
ideal candidate should have excellent fine motor skills, familiarity with basic
electrical engineering principles, and strong problem solving and communication
abilities. Working effectively within a team environment is critical.

Requirements

• Associate's degree in related field, or technical degree in related field
• 2+ years of mechanical and electrical integration or assembly experience
• Knowledge of Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, Excel, and Word

Nice To Haves

• Experience with precision electro-mechanical assembly (e.g. parts cleaning, mechanical tolerances, torqueing requirements, cable management)
• Experience and knowledge of precision mechanical tools
• Experience working with cryogenic test setups (e.g. dilution refrigerators)
• Experience with the assembly and testing of microwave (e.g. semi-rigid coax) and low-frequency wiring harnesses
• Excellent craftsmanship in mechanical assembly
• Ability to assemble, test, rework, and maintain PCB electronics and cable assemblies
• Familiarity with CAD tools for viewing and manipulating models (e.g. SolidWorks, Inventor)
• Familiarity with MS Project
• Familiarity with manual machining
• Curiosity/capability to rapidly research and learn new techniques or technical topics

Responsibilities

• Precision electrical assembly and integration for cryogenic quantum computing operations.
• Assemble, integrate, and package electro-mechanical components including PCB assemblies, cable assemblies, and quantum processors using specialized tools.
• Perform high-quality hand soldering including connector attachment, SMT reflow, PCB rework, and assembly/routing of DC/RF harnesses/cables.
• Conduct electrical tests using multimeters, Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), and automated test equipment to verify assembly performance through continuity, isolation and transmission measurements.
• Assemble components designed for high vacuum and cryogenic environments.
• Follow detailed work instructions, update build logs, generate and update assembly procedures, inspect outside vendor assembly work, and maintain strict electrostatic discharge (ESD) safety protocols.

Benefits

• health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for Supplemental life plans, EAP, Mental Health Support, Medical Advice Line, Flexible Spending Accounts, Adoption and Surrogacy Reimbursement coverage)
• 401(k) matching
• paid time off
• parental leave
