Aws Quantum Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire a Quantum Applied Scientist in the Test and Measurement group. You will be joining a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, all working at the forefront of quantum computing to innovate for the benefit of our customers.
You should have a deep and broad knowledge of experimental measurement techniques, and how to develop and automate them in software, towards improving the performance of quantum processors on the path towards delivering a fault-tolerant quantum computer.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking to hire an Applied Scientist focused on calibrating and optimizing the performance of integrated quantum processors

In this role, you will:
- develop novel calibration and optimization routines
- test and validate these experimental routines on processors hosted in a cryogenic environment
- automate these routines to verify the expected performance of the processors at scale
- contribute to novel quantum error correction demonstrations.
You are expected to develop and lead high-impact research projects that intersect with our engineering roadmap. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles and resourcefulness. Organization and communication skills are essential.
A day in the life
As an Applied Scientist in the Test and Measurement group you characterize the integrated quantum processors designed and fabricated at CQC

To do so, you will:
- collaborate with Software Development Engineers to develop and test novel calibration and optimization tools in software
- work with System Engineers to set component level requirements as we scale processor complexity
- work with quantum error correction (QEC) theorists to evaluate and improve the logical performance of these processors.
