Applied Scientist, AWS CQC Design and Software
Amazon.com
The AWS Center for Quantum Computing is looking to hire an Applied Scientist focused on the development of software and techniques for quantum electronic design automation. In this role, you will conduct research into scalable modeling, computer-aided design (CAD), and simulation techniques and software for designing superconducting quantum processors. You may join us in building Palace [1,2], an open-source cloud-scalable finite-element electromagnetics solver developed within our team. Or, you may build design automation capabilities for device layout and device modeling. You will have an opportunity to make an enduring impact on the development of fault-tolerant quantum computers without necessarily having a quantum computing research background.

A day in the life
Diverse Experiences
AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the 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.
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.
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 & 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.
Hybrid Work
We value innovation and recognize this sometimes requires uninterrupted time to focus on a build. We also value in-person collaboration and time spent face-to-face. Our team affords employees options to work in the office every day or in a flexible, hybrid work model near one of our U.S. Amazon offices.
About the team
You are joining a team that is building scientific application codes for quantum electronic design automation. You will work closely with a co-located quantum processor design team. We release and contribute to open source software.
We are open to hiring candidates to work out of one of the following locations:
San Francisco, CA, USA
