Quantum Research Scientist, Aws Cqc Fabrication

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) 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 to hire a Research Scientist with fabrication and data analysis experience working on Josephson Junction elements of a superconducting circuit. The position is on-site at our lab, located on the in Pasadena, CA. The ideal candidate will have had prior experience deep diving into fabrication details and electrical test data. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness and data science experience. Organization and communication skills are essential.
Key job responsibilities
* Deep dive into the physics and related data associated with Josephson Junctions or metal-insulator-metal fabrication processes.
* Develop and maintain data pipeline pertinent to superconducting device fabrication, in particular Josephson Junctions or general transmon elements.
* Develop analytical tools to uncover new information about established and new junction processes.
* Generate both custom and standardized reports summarizing inline and end of line electrical and process data from product material runs.
* Devise experiments and provide recommendations for improvement of fabrication processes.
* Communicate findings with colleagues by way of crisp documentation and presentations.
A day in the life
The role will be vital to the fabrication team and quantum computing device integration mechanism. The candidate will provide the most current information to project leads and fabrication area owners to drive data driven decision of production runs. Once the fabrication run starts the candidate will stay close to the details of fabrication providing data analysis and quick feedback to key stakeholders. At the end of fabrication runs custom and standardized reports will be generated by the candidate to provide insights into data generated from the run. This position may require occasional weekend work.
About the team
Our team is comprised of scientists and engineers who are building hardware that enables quantum computing technologies. Doing that requires the fabrication of quantum devices, which necessitates staying close to the details and analyzing data while building tools to better understand the data.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
