Quantum Signal Train Engineer Internship, Amazon Center for Quantum Computing

This internship is for an applied science intern focused on hardware signal train design for quantum computing. The work includes designing and validating printed circuit board hardware that performs control and readout functions across room and cryogenic temperatures.

• Design cryogenic and room temperature printed circuit board based hardware for signal conditioning and control functions
• Develop tests to validate hardware using both benchtop and cryogenic test setups with quantum devices
• Explore enabling control technologies for producing commercially viable quantum computers
• Work cross-functionally with scientists and engineers to deliver state of the art solutions
• Design and validate control and readout functions for Amazon quantum processors

The technical scope centers on analog or mixed-signal PCB-level hardware design for quantum processor control and readout. The role requires building and testing systems using oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, power supplies, and soldering, and developing tests for both benchtop and cryogenic test setups, supported by at least one computer aided engineering (CAE) circuit and mechanical design tool.

The ideal candidate is an early-career applied science/engineering intern with strong analog or mixed-signal PCB-level design experience and comfort building cryogenic-capable hardware for quantum computing. They have hands-on lab skills using oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, power supplies, and soldering, and can validate designs using both benchtop and cryogenic test setups while working effectively in cross-functional teams.
