Applied Scientist, Materials and Process Development, AWS Center for Quantum Computing

Amazon • Pasadena, CA • 5h ago

Description

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist on the Materials team, focused on materials integration and process development for superconducting quantum processors. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists, materials scientists, and hardware and software engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing. You should have expertise in thin-film deposition, semiconductor integration processes, and materials characterization, with a strong understanding of how device topography and process sequences constrain materials integration choices.

Candidates with a track record in materials integration for superconducting or semiconductor devices at wafer scale will be preferred. We are looking for candidates with strong scientific and engineering principles, resourcefulness and a bias for action, superior problem solving, and excellent communication skills. As an Applied Scientist at CQC, you will be expected to drive materials integration R&D from process development through hardware demonstration and stay abreast of advances in superconducting materials and semiconductor manufacturing.

Key job responsibilities

You will develop and optimize materials for superconducting quantum hardware, with an emphasis on thin-film deposition processes and materials solutions that enable integration architectures for scaling qubit density. This includes establishing process-structure-property relationships for production-relevant films and interfaces, qualifying new tools and process modules, and designing integration schemes compatible with larger wafer formats. You will coordinate with cross-functional teams to translate materials advances into production, and publish results in scientific journals when appropriate.

Basic Qualifications

PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics or equivalent

Expertise in thin-film deposition and process integration at 200 mm wafer scale or larger

Expertise in thin-film characterization

Preferred Qualifications

Experience successfully delivering on projects as part of a cross-team collaboration

Proficient in a scientific programming environment

Familiarity with superconducting materials and their integration into device fabrication flows

Experience developing novel materials or deposition processes for advanced device architectures

Experience with 3D integration

Track record of translating materials or process integration advances into improved device performance
