The AWS Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Research Scientist specializing in Mixed-Signal Design. Working alongside other scientists and engineers, you will design and validate hardware performing the control and readout functions for AWS quantum processors. Candidates must have a strong background in mixed-signal design at the printed circuit board (PCB) level. Working effectively within a cross-functional team setting is critical. The ideal candidate will have previous experience with hardware development through multiple product life-cycles, from requirements generation to design validation.Key job responsibilities
Solve layered technical problems, often ones not encountered before, across our hardware stack.
Develop requirements with key system stakeholders, including quantum device, test and measurement, cryogenic hardware, and theory teams.
Design, implement, test, deploy, and maintain innovative solutions that meet both strict performance and cost metrics.
Research enabling technologies necessary for AWS to produce commercially viable quantum computers.

- MS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics with 3+ years of relevant experience.
- Previous high-speed PCB design experience, from schematic capture to layout and manufacturing.
- Proficient in the use of Altium or Cadence CAD software for high-speed PCB design and verification.
- Knowledgeable in the use of op-amps, biasing circuits, filtering, clock distribution, phase locked loops, and grounding and shielding techniques.
- Working knowledge of RF/Microwave circuit theory, including transmission lines, impedance matching, linearity, and stability.
- Hands-on lab equipment skills for electrical validation and characterization.
- Demonstrated product life-cycle development, from requirements generation to design validation.

- Experience with FPGA prototyping, synthesis, debugging, and validation of algorithms.
- Working knowledge of ASIC design tools and development.
