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.

These are full-time positions at 40 hours per week, with compensation being awarded on an hourly basis. Key job responsibilities This project need the intern's technical competency in the following area: Causal inference: The core of the project requires the intern to apply rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental methods (e.g., DiD, matching, IV, or RD) to identify the causal relationship between customer demographic characteristics and upper-funnel shopping behavior. The intern will need to clearly articulate identification assumptions, conduct robustness checks, and demonstrate depth in at least one method — for example, by addressing heterogeneous treatment effects across customer segments or applying modern extensions such as staggered DiD or doubly robust estimation. Experiment design: The experiment design deliverable will demonstrate the intern's ability to translate observational findings into a testable hypothesis with a well-specified randomized design, including power analysis, proper randomization strategy, and pre-registration of outcomes. Technical adaptability and LLM proficiency: The project requires the intern to quickly learn and leverages LLM-based pipelines. The intern needs an entry-level understanding of large language models and will work hands-on with the most advanced LLM models used internally at Amazon. This demonstrates the intern's ability to operate at the intersection of AI and economics — working independently with large-scale databases using Python and SQL while understanding how LLM outputs feed into economic analysis. Communication: The insight report, experiment design, and grocery business proposal will demonstrate the intern's ability to present technical economic ideas clearly to a business audience — translating causal estimates and statistical findings into actionable recommendations that non-technical stakeholders can understand and act on. A day in the life The internal stakeholders are leadership of SEAS and CBA. the intern is expected to meet weekly with mentor and manager to discuss progress and have a final representation to the stakeholder team. About the team The Stores Economics and Science Team (SEAS) is a Stores-wide interdisciplinary team at Amazon with a "peak jumping" mission focused on disruptive innovation. The team applies science, economics, and engineering expertise to tackle the business's most critical problems, working to move from local to global optima across Amazon Stores operations. SEAS builds partnerships with organizations throughout Amazon Stores to pursue this mission, exploring frontier science while learning from the experience and perspective of others. Their approach involves testing solutions first at a small scale, then aligning more broadly to build scalable solutions that can be implemented across the organization. The team works backwards from customers using their unique scientific expertise to add value, takes on long-run and high-risk projects that business teams typically wouldn't pursue, helps teams with kickstart problems by building practical prototypes, raises the scientific bar at Amazon, and builds and shares software that makes Amazon more productive.
