Quantum Research Scientist, AWS Center for Quantum Computing
Job ID: 2631632 | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Research Scientist with experience in semiconductor process development who will aid in AWS’s effort to bring cloud quantum computing services to its worldwide customer base. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, and hardware and software engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing. Through your work inside and outside of the cleanroom environment in the fabrication research and development group, you will solve problems related to developing next-generation quantum processors.Candidates must have a demonstrated background in sound scientific and engineering principles, and must have excellent data analysis, bias for action, problem solving, and communication skills, and be highly motivated and curious to research and learn new technical topics as needed. As a research scientist, you will be expected to work on new ideas and stay abreast of novel approaches in fabricating and packaging superconducting quantum processors. Working effectively within a team environment is critical.Key job responsibilities
Responsibilities include developing novel processes to fabricate high-coherence superconducting qubits; developing advanced 3DI interconnect and routing technologies for integrating superconducting quantum technologies; analyzing inline metrology and electrical test data; writing production standard operating procedures to transfer newly-developed processes to production teams; interacting with project leads to provide feedback that continuously improves different processes.A day in the life
The candidate will develop novel technologies using micro-/nano-fabrication techniques inside the cleanroom (independently or in collaboration with other scientists and engineers) for next-generation quantum computing. Outside the cleanroom, the candidate will plan experiments, analyze data, and conceive future innovations.BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
Ph.D. in physics, electrical engineering, materials science, or a related field in science or engineeringA demonstrated track record of original, impactful work done micro-/nano-fabricationHands-on experience with electron beam lithography; photolithography (mask or maskless aligners, steppers, and scanners); wafer-level wet/dry etching techniques; wafer cleaning and lift-off techniques; thin film deposition techniques (e.g., PECVD, LPCVD, ALD, evaporation, sputtering, and furnace oxidation); semiconductor and thin film metrology techniques (e.g., AFM, SEM, XPS, EDX, profilometry, reflectometry, and ellipsometry); one or more manufacturing execution systemsEffective at managing multiple tasks/projects and working independently or within a team environment with other scientists, engineers, and technicians who might have a wide range of technical skill levelsPREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Knowledge of R, MATLAB, Python or similar scripting languageFamiliarity with superconducting quantum computing components, fabrication, and packaging techniques1+ years of relevant industry experience working in a cleanroom environmentGreat problem solving and analytical skillsStrong verbal, written, and data presentation skillsHands-on experience with electroplating; wafer thinning; chemical mechanical polishing; wafer level and flip-chip packaging techniques; temporary and permanent wafer level bonding; 2.5/3D integration schemesExperience in performing failure analysis and root cause investigation for process excursionsWorking knowledge of statistical analysis and design of experiments using JMP or minitabExperience in yield monitoring, statistical process control, and demonstrating process capabilityAmazon is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace.
