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 Why AWS? 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. AWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations — from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry. As a member of the UC organization, you’ll support the development and management of Compute, Database, Storage, Internet of Things (Iot), Platform, and Productivity Apps services in AWS. Within AWS UC, Amazon Dedicated Cloud (ADC) roles engage with AWS customers who require specialized security solutions for their cloud services.

Work with the inventor of control barrier functions in the Safe Autonomy Frontiers (SAF) Lab. The first industry research lab in safe autonomy, developing a universal safety layer for the next generation of robotic systems: mobile robots, manipulators, mobile manipulators, and future platforms with dynamic stability. You will push the frontiers of performant safety for highly dynamic robots: CBF theory integrated with perception and learning, evaluated on next-generation robots. Your work will underpin robots operating alongside people at Amazon's unprecedented scale. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Scholar to join the SAF Lab. In this role, you will perform research around safe autonomy on highly dynamic robots, with a special focus on loco-manipulation and dynamically stable robots. This includes, but is not limited to, underlying theory of control barrier functions (CBFs) that enables robust and performant safety on hardware, safe reinforcement learning for agile and robust whole-body control, layered safety filters that interface with learning modules, and the synthesis of CBFs from perception data and semantic information. You will push the boundaries of safe autonomy and validate your discoveries experimentally on the next generation of robotic platforms. The SAF lab provides a unique opportunity to collaborate with the inventor of CBFs, top scientists and engineers at Amazon developing the next generation of safe autonomy, while also establishing strong connections with top academic research labs. Your research in the SAF lab will lay the foundations of safe learning on complex robots – removing bottlenecks to deployment and enable them to safely operate around humans. Key job responsibilities In this role you will: • Push forward the fundamental science of safe autonomy. This can be from a variety of perspectives: theoretic contributions, integration with learning, or synthesis from perception. Especially valuable are methods that bridge these different domains. • Develop the simulation and evaluation pipelines needed to run complex and large-scale validation of methods developed in high fidelity simulation environments. • Develop sim-to-real transfer pipelines that enable the deployment of simulation-based methods (controllers, policies) on hardware. • Deploy the methods developed on hardware, with a focus on dynamically stable robots. Validate the underlying science developed in practice and identify gaps between the science and practice to drive innovation in research. • Publish research at top-tier robotics, control and ML venues and contribute to Amazon's scientific reputation in advanced robotics • Collaborate with product teams and science leaders to set a science roadmap (with eventual impact on real robots).
