The ideal candidate should have expertise in 3D CAD (SolidWorks), thermal and structural FEA (Ansys/COMSOL), hardware design for cryogenic applications, design for manufacturing, and mechanical engineering principles. The candidate must have demonstrated experience driving designs through full product development cycles (requirements, conceptual design, detailed design, manufacturing, integration, and testing). Candidates must also have a strong background in both cryogenic mechanical engineering theory and implementation. Working effectively within a cross-functional team environment is critical. ### Key job responsibilities The CQC collaborates across teams and projects to offer state-of-the-art, cost-effective solutions for scaling the signal delivery to quantum processor systems at cryogenic temperatures. Equally important is the ability to scale the thermal performance and improve EMI mitigation of the cryogenic environment. ### You will work on the following - 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 ### A day in the life As you design and implement cryogenic hardware solutions, from requirements definition to deployment, you will also: - 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 ### About the team The Amazon 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. ### Inclusive Team Culture Here at Amazon, it’s in our nature to learn and be curious. Our employee-led affinity groups foster a culture of inclusion that empower us to be proud of our differences. Ongoing events and learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. ### Diverse Experiences Amazon values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. ### Mentorship & Career Growth We’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. ### Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve in the cloud. ### Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be either a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be able to obtain a US export license. If you are unsure if you meet these requirements, please apply and Amazon will review your application for eligibility. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Sep 1, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 25, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 25, 2026 - Listed for: 54 days - Location: US, CA, Pasadena[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10523242/quantum-research-engineer-quantum-computing) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Applied & Research Scientist - Safe Autonomy Frontiers (SAF) Lab, Safe Autonomy Frontiers (SAF) Lab](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/2ba0611bf10f915145f9/) US, CA, Pasadena ### [Applied Scientist, Device Team, AWS Center for Quantum Computing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/14a0f84e143d165a6789/) US, CA, Pasadena ### [Applied Scientist, Quantum Algorithms, Center for Quantum Computing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/4c74199f56d2e49282a1/) US, CA, Pasadena ### [Applied Scientist, Safe Control, Amazon Robotics, Compass](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/0f97bdc5b07787b65b16/) US, CA, Pasadena ### [Senior Applied Scientist, Materials and Process Development, AWS Center for Quantum Computing](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/6641542933eb208eca20/) US, CA, Pasadena ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Research Intern - Quantum Algorithms](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/25d2204157895a8a441c/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Quantum Opto-electronics Research Manager](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/a8db2df905800a9909d8/) Lockheed Martin · Louisville, CO ### [Staff Quantum Optical Research Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/lockheed-martin/jobs/58a4bbb1858ad581c94a/) Lockheed Martin · Louisville, CO ### [Principal Quantum Engineer - Quantum Systems](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/b53b78e06278418a90ae/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Senior Research Scientist, Quantum Demonstration Workflows, Quantum AI](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/alphabet/jobs/28daf190064c50186816/) Alphabet · Goleta, CA, USA +1 more OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
