## Description

The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist specializing in Testing of Control Systems hardware. Working alongside other scientists and engineers, you will validate hardware and software systems performing the control and readout functions for Amazon quantum processors. Working effectively within a cross-functional team environment is critical. The ideal candidate will have an established background in test engineering applicable to large mixed-signal systems., Our scientists and engineers collaborate across diverse teams and projects to offer state of the art, cost effective solutions for the control of Amazon quantum processor systems. You'll bring a passion for innovation and collaboration to:

Develop automated test scripts for mid-volume electronics manufacturing, utilizing high-speed test equipment such as Gsps oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and network analyzers.

Design and implement test plans for high-speed, mixed-signal PCAs and instrument assemblies, covering analog/digital interfaces, ADCs/DACs, FPGAs, and power distribution systems.

Develop test requirements and coverage matrices with hardware and software stakeholders, including optimization of test coverage vs test time.

Analyze test data to identify failure root causes and trends, implement corrective actions, and drive design-for-testability (DFT) enhancements.

Drive continuous test improvement to improve test accuracy, improve final product reliability, and adapt to new measurement requirements.
