About the role

The AWS Center for Quantum Computing is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, all working to develop quantum computing technology capable of delivering value to customers. Our cryogenic hardware integration & signals teams are innovating to develop next generation hardware - from the chip package to the room temperature control electronics. We are looking for a senior technical program manager to coordinate our internal/external R&D efforts.

Key job responsibilities

• Produce and maintain detailed plans and schedules for our cryogenic hardware and signals R&D activities (including chip cool down planning). You will identify and forecast resource constraints, opportunities and conflicts, which will be used to drive operational decisions.
• Work across team boundaries to ensure stakeholders are aware of risks/opportunities and timelines.
• Identify operational gaps and generate recommendations and mechanisms to improve operational efficiency.
• Work with stakeholders to define mechanisms that optimize the interface points to cryogenic hardware & signals teams.
