The CQC is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We are looking to hire a hardware development engineer with superconducting thin film deposition and complementary fabrication experience. The engineer will be focused on thin films deposition to support fabrication and studies of Josephson Junction elements, superconducting resonators, 3D integration components (like superconducting bumps) and other critical elements of superconducting circuits. The position is on-site at our lab, located in Pasadena, CA. The ideal candidate will have had prior experience depositing superconducting films and studying blanket film and fabricated device performance. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness and a data driven approach. Organization and communication skills are essential.
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.
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.
Inclusive Team Culture
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.
Mentorship and 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.
Key job responsibilities
- Own thermal evaporation processes used for superconducting metals
- Deep dive into the hardware, process and physics related to Josephson Junctions or metal-insulator-metal fabrication
- Hands-on production support of deposition processes used to fabricate superconducting circuit elements such as indium bumps, airbridges, resonators etc
- Lead process control of deposition processes
- Devise experiments and provide recommendations for improvement of fabrication processes.
- Communicate findings with colleagues by way of crisp documentation and presentations.
A day in the life
The role will be vital to the fabrication team and quantum computing device integration mechanism. The candidate will provide drive improvement of the superconducting thin film deposition area that involve thermal deposition, physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition processes. The candidate will work with other scientists and engineers in fabricating superconducting devices. This role is flexible but is mainly 2nd shift. The position may require occasional weekend work.

Get Access To All JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Which distribution and wholesale companies sponsor TN visas in California?
Large distributors with established California operations are the most consistent TN sponsors in this industry. Companies like McKesson, Cardinal Health, Sysco, and Grainger have regional offices and distribution centers across the state and have filed TN-category Labor Condition Applications in past years. Smaller specialty wholesalers in food distribution, medical supply, and industrial goods also sponsor TN workers, particularly for roles in logistics management, systems analysis, and industrial engineering.
Which cities in California have the most distribution and wholesale TN sponsorship jobs?
The Inland Empire, covering Riverside and San Bernardino counties, is California's largest distribution hub and has the highest concentration of wholesale and logistics employers. Los Angeles and its surrounding cities, including Carson and Vernon, host major food and consumer goods distributors. The Bay Area and Sacramento corridor also generate demand, particularly for wholesale operations tied to tech supply chains and agricultural distribution networks in the Central Valley.
What types of distribution and wholesale roles typically qualify for TN sponsorship?
TN visa eligibility requires the role to fall within a recognized USMCA professional category. In distribution and wholesale, qualifying positions commonly include Industrial Engineer, Systems Analyst, Accountant, Computer Systems Consultant, and Management Consultant. Operations management, supply chain analytics, and logistics technology roles can qualify when the employer structures the position around a degree-specific specialty. Roles primarily involving physical warehouse work or general supervision typically do not meet the specialty occupation threshold.
How do I find distribution and wholesale TN sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter by TN visa type, select California as your target state, and browse distribution and wholesale employers who have actively sponsored work visas. Because TN sponsorship requires employer participation, focusing on companies with a documented sponsorship history in this industry saves significant time. Migrate Mate surfaces those employers directly, so you're not sorting through listings from companies unfamiliar with the TN process.
Are there California-specific considerations for TN sponsorship in distribution and wholesale?
California's strict employment laws add a layer of employer compliance on top of federal TN requirements. Employers must meet California wage and hour standards independently of the federal prevailing wage obligations tied to TN Labor Condition Applications. The state's large unionized distribution sector means some roles at major logistics employers are covered by collective bargaining agreements, which can affect hiring timelines. Canadian citizens can present TN documentation at any U.S. port of entry, including land crossings at San Ysidro or Otay Mesa for those traveling from Mexico.
