    Description
    Software Engineer, Fabrication Support, Center for Quantum Computing

    Job ID:
    | Amazon Development Center U.S., Inc.

    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 for a Software Engineer to join our growing software team. The position is on-site at our lab, located on the Caltech campus in Pasadena, CA.

    You will work closely with research scientists in our fabrication facility and theoretical physicists to build platforms, pipelines and tools which automate and accelerate the hardware development efforts at CQC and enable more rapid, scalable, and repeatable successes within these efforts.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Build pipelines that automate data ingestion and sanitization from fabrication instruments in real time
    • Build and maintain interfaces to the databases to enable quick storage, retrieval, and processing of measurements
    • Build a Machine Learning pipeline to detect defects on wafer microscope images
    • Identify bottlenecks, pain points, integration issues, and develop designs and improvements to the fabrication team's workflows


    We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, and a bias for action, superior problem-solving, and excellent communication skills.

    Candidates should also possess a genuine curiosity and readiness to grasp the domain knowledge of our research scientists. Working effectively within a team environment is essential.

    As a software engineer embedded in a research organization, you will have the opportunity to work on new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation.

    A day in the life

    The lifetime of your projects will likely begin with a lot of discussion and negotiation with our scientists and engineers to translate their software and hardware feature requests into design proposals that demonstrate sensible trade-offs between complexity and delivery.

    Once a design proposal has been accepted, you will implement it in a logical and maintainable manner.

    You will also be encouraged to take ownership over the stability and quality of the software and hardware stack by identifying, proposing, and implementing features that will accelerate our realization of quantum computing technologies.

    About the team
    You will be joining the Device Lifecycle Software team within the AWS Center of Quantum Computing. Our team is comprised of software engineers who are building scalable software that enables quantum computing technologies.
