Job : | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.
The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) team is looking for a passionate, talented, and inventive Research Engineer specializing in hardware design for cryogenic environments. The ideal candidate should have experience with 3D CAD (Solid Works), thermal and structural FEA (Ansys/COMSOL), hardware design for cryogenic applications, design for manufacturing, and mechanical engineering principles. Candidates must have demonstrated experience driving designs through full product development cycles and a strong background in cryogenic mechanical engineering theory and implementation.
Key Job Responsibilities- High density novel packaging solutions for quantum processor units.
- Cryogenic mechanical design for novel cryogenic signal conditioning sub-assemblies.
- Cryogenic mechanical design for signal delivery systems.
- Simulation‑driven designs (shielding, filtering, etc.) to reduce sources of EMI within the qubit environment.
- Own end‑to‑end product development through requirements, design reports, design reviews, assembly/testing documentation, and final delivery.
- Participate in requirements, design, and test reviews and communicate with internal stakeholders.
- Work cross‑functionally to help drive decisions using your unique technical background and skill set.
- Refine and define standards and processes for operational excellence.
- Work in a high‑paced, startup‑like environment where you are provided the resources to innovate quickly.
- Bachelor's degree or above in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics or equivalent.
- Bachelor's degree with 6+ years of relevant experience, Master’s degree with 5+ years relevant experience, or PhD with 2+ years relevant experience.
- Experience with cryogenic mechanical design and product development lifecycle.
- Knowledge of design for manufacturing.
- Expertise with Finite Element Analysis (Thermal, Mechanical, EM) and 3D CAD (Solid Works).
- PhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics or related field.
- Experience with quantum hardware development and quantum processor packaging.
- Knowledge of RF/Microwave principles.
- Experience with PCB design and manufacturing.
