SDE II - Fabrication Manufacturing Execution System, Center for Quantum Computing

Software Development Engineer

The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is hiring a Software Development Engineer to develop our data applications and infrastructure with a focus on supporting our fabrication team. You will work closely with other Software Development Engineers, Research Scientists, and a Technical Program Manager. As a member of the AWS Utility Computing (UC) organization, you'll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (IoT), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS, including support for customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world's most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating that's why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

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.

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.

Here at AWS, 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 (gender diversity) conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness.

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.

Key Job Responsibilities

• Work directly with scientists and engineers to understand their problems and propose workable solutions.
• Translate user stories into software design documents demonstrating sensible trade-offs between complexity and delivery.
• Implementation of design proposals in a logical and maintainable manner.
• Taking ownership over the stability and quality of the software stack by identifying, proposing, and implementing features that will accelerate our realization of quantum computing technologies.
• Identify bottlenecks, pain points, integration issues, and develop improvements to the fabrication team's workflows.

Qualifications

We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, a bias for action, superior problem-solving skills, and excellent communication skills. Candidates should also possess a genuine curiosity and readiness to grasp the domain knowledge of our research scientists. Working effectively within a team environment is essential.

Example Projects

• Build and maintain ingestion pipelines to keep data in sync between custom MES solutions and our broader ecosystem.
• Develop features for streamlining fabrication planning, timeline estimation and retrospective analysis of product flows.
• Develop charting frameworks to allow research scientists to easily plot and correlate data from various data sources.
• Design database schemas modeling processes and artifacts of our fabrication workflow.

You will be joining the Device Lifecycle software development team within the AWS Center of Quantum Computing. Our team is comprised of software engineers who are building software that enables scaling up quantum computing technologies.
