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.\n\nKey Responsibilities\nAs a Fab R&D 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. Responsibilities include developing and optimizing processes to fabricate high‑coherence superconducting qubits; developing advanced 3D interconnect and routing technologies for integrating superconducting quantum technologies; analyzing inline metrology and electrical test data; developing and maintaining integration documentation, design rules, and standard operating procedures; interacting with project leads to provide feedback that continuously improves different processes; staying updated with the latest advancements and industry trends in process integration and apply knowledge to improve processes and drive innovation, providing technical guidance and support to junior colleagues, fostering a collaborative and knowledge‑sharing work environment.\n\nA Day in the Life\nThe candidate will develop novel technologies using micro‑/nano‑fabrication techniques inside the cleanroom (independently or in collaboration with other scientists, engineers, and technicians) for next‑generation quantum computing. Outside the cleanroom, the candidate will plan experiments, analyze data, and conceive future innovations.\n\nBasic Qualifications\n\nPhD in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, material science, physics, or equivalent\n\nA demonstrated track record of original, impactful work in nanofabrication, MEMS, or 2.5/3D integration\n\nEffective at managing multiple tasks or projects and working independently or within a team environment with other scientists, engineers, and technicians who might have a wide range of technical skill levels\n\nGreat problem solving and analytical skills\n\nStrong verbal, written, and data presentation skills\n\nPreferred Qualifications\n\n2+ years work experience in process integration in a 200/300mm foundry environment (preferably in R&D)\n\nHands‑on experience with manufacturing execution systems, electron beam lithography, photolithography, wafer‑level wet/dry etching techniques, wafer cleaning and lift‑off techniques, thin film deposition and metrology techniques, electroplating, wafer thinning, chemical mechanical polishing, temporary and permanent wafer‑level bonding, wafer‑level and flip‑chip packaging techniques, 2.5/3D integration schemes\n\nFamiliarity with superconducting quantum computing components, fabrication, and packaging techniques\n\nExperience in performing failure analysis, root cause investigation for process excursions, yield monitoring, and statistical process control\n\nProficient in at least one of the following: Python, Julia, MATLAB or other scripting languages\n\nProficient in statistical data analysis, process optimization, and design of experiments using JMP or Minitab\n\nExport Control Requirement\nDue to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be either a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be able to obtain a U.S. export license.\n\nWork/Life Balance\nOur team puts a high value on work‑life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life‑long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.\n\nMentorship & Career Growth\nWe’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge‑sharing, mentorship, and other career‑advancing resources here to help you develop into a better‑rounded professional.\n\nLos Angeles County Applicants\nJob duties for this position include: work safely and cooperatively with other employees, supervisors, and staff; adhere to standards of excellence despite stressful conditions; communicate effectively and respectfully with employees, supervisors, and staff to ensure exceptional customer service; and follow all federal, state, and local laws and Company policies. Criminal history may have a direct, adverse, and negative relationship with some of the material job duties of this position.\n\nSalary and Benefits\nThe base salary range for this position is $142,800.00 – $193,200.00 USD annually. Your Amazon package will include sign‑on payments and restricted stock units (RSUs). Final compensation will be determined based on factors including experience, qualifications, and location. Amazon also offers comprehensive benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription, Basic Life & AD&D insurance and option for supplemental life plans, EAP, mental health support, medical advice line, flexible spending accounts, adoption and surrogacy reimbursement coverage), 401(k) matching, paid time off, and parental leave.
