Sr. Research Scientist , Quantum Computing
Amazon Jobs, Pasadena, California, United States, 91122
Overview
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Quantum Research Scientist in the Fabrication group. 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 a deep and broad knowledge of device fabrication techniques. Responsibilities
Drive improvements in qubit performance by characterizing the impact of environmental and material noise on qubit dynamics. Design experiments to assess the role of specific noise sources, ensure the collection of statistically significant data through automation, analyze results, and prepare clear summaries for the team. Collaborate with hardware engineers, material scientists, and circuit designers to implement changes that mitigate the impact of the most significant noise sources. Qualifications
Master\'s degree, or PhD and 5+ years of quantitative field research experience. Broad experience in fabrication and measurement techniques with ability to learn new topics as needed. 5+ years of relevant experience working in a cleanroom environment. 5+ years of hands-on experience with electron beam lithography; photolithography; 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). Experience with managing multiple tasks/projects and working independently or in a team with scientists, engineers, and technicians who might have a wide range of technical skill levels. Knowledge of R, MATLAB, Python or similar scripting language. Familiarity with superconducting quantum computing components, fabrication, and packaging techniques. 8+ years of relevant industry experience working in a cleanroom environment. Hands-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 schemes. Experience in performing failure analysis and root cause investigation for process excursions. Working knowledge of statistical analysis and design of experiments using JMP or Minitab. Experience in yield monitoring, statistical process control, and demonstrating process capability. Compliance and Benefits
