    The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist in the Processor Test and Measurement group. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists, materials scientists, and hardware and software engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing. This role focuses on the verification and validation of the circuit components that make up a quantum error correction (QEC) code — such as gates, reset, and readout — and on understanding how the performance of those components contributes to overall QEC performance. We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting component-level measurements to integrated system behavior, and who is motivated by working across teams to understand it. Much of the work involves partnering with processor design, theory, and QEC colleagues to validate that new devices behave as their Hamiltonians predict, and to explore the gaps when they don't. A comfort with error budgeting — reasoning about where component performance comes from and what limits it — is central to the role. Candidates with a track record of original scientific contributions will be preferred. We value strong engineering principles, resourcefulness, problem solving, and clear communication, along with the ability to work effectively within a team. As an Applied Scientist you will have the opportunity to pursue new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation. Key job responsibilities We are looking to hire an Applied Scientist to help verify and validate the circuit components of our error-corrected quantum processors and to understand how their performance maps to QEC requirements. Depending on background and interest, the work may include: - Collaborating with theory and processor design teams to develop experimental test plans that validate new processor designs and check that fabricated devices meet their intent. - Characterizing the building blocks of a QEC code and building error budgets that explain and bound their performance. - Designing experiments that help separate effects such as crosstalk and spectator interactions from intrinsic component performance. - Prototyping calibration and measurement approaches that can later be matured for automated, large-scale processor bring-up and QEC demonstrations. - Investigating discrepancies between measured and expected behavior, and feeding what you learn back into design and theory. You will have the opportunity to take part in high-impact research projects that intersect with our engineering roadmap, working closely with processor, theory, and QEC stakeholders so that component-level decisions are informed by overall system performance. A day in the life About the team The Amazon Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. Inclusive Team Culture Here at Amazon, 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 conferences, inspire us to never stop embracing our uniqueness. 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. Mentorship & 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. 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. Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be either a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum, or be able to obtain a US export license. If you are unsure if you meet these requirements, please apply and Amazon will review your application for eligibility.
