    The Amazon Web Services Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) in Pasadena, CA, is looking to hire an Applied Scientist. You will join a multi-disciplinary team of experimental and theoretical physicists, materials scientists, and hardware and software engineers working at the forefront of quantum computing. You should have a solid foundation in experimental physics and deep and broad knowledge of experimental measurement techniques. 

Candidates should have a track record of original scientific contributions, and those with deep knowledge and experience in low temperature condensed matter physics (superconductivity, Josephson junctions, phononics, TLS physics etc.) will be preferred. We are looking for candidates with strong engineering principles, resourcefulness and a bias for action, superior problem solving, and excellent communication skills. Working effectively within a team environment is essential. You will be expected to work on new ideas and stay abreast of the field of experimental quantum computation. Key job responsibilities In this role, you will be part of the Physical Metrology and Exploration (PME) subgroup within the Device team. You will work with the basic building blocks of quantum processors, ranging from superconducting films and resonators to junctions and qubits. There are two core missions for the PME team. The first is to support the CQC’s central activities through the development of devices, both existing and novel, that fall within this complexity range. This involves understanding their physical principles, identifying performance limitations, and collaboratively enhancing their capabilities. In many cases though, existing tools and measurement protocols fall short in delivering the depth of insights required for this first mission. Hence the second core mission of the team centers on physical metrology development. This involves continuously refining existing methodologies and simultaneously devising entirely new ones by identifying specific physical phenomena and exploiting them for measurement applications. You will constantly learn, innovate, carry out agile and yet scientifically rigorous research, and disseminate findings to the rest of the organization. You will be responsible for building experiments that encompass the integrated stack: design, fabrication, cryogenics, signal chain, and control stack software. Based on your research, you will provide recommendations that improve our next-generation quantum processors.
