Amazon Web Services (AWS), Pasadena, California, United States, 91122
Overview
Research Software Engineer, Control & Calibration, AWS Center for Quantum Computing. Join to apply for the
Research Software Engineer, Control & Calibration, AWS Center for Quantum Computing
role at
Amazon Web Services (AWS) . The AWS Center for Quantum Computing (CQC) is a multi-disciplinary team of scientists, engineers, and technicians, on a mission to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer. We are looking to hire a Research Software Engineer to join our growing software group. You will work closely with our experimental and theoretical physics teams to enable their work characterizing, calibrating, and operating novel quantum devices. The ideal candidate will translate high-level science requirements into software implementations (e.g., Python APIs/frameworks, instrument drivers, database schemas) that are performant, scalable, and intuitive. This role emphasizes collaboration with experimental physicists to develop scientific software that scales to larger quantum devices. Key responsibilities
Architect extensible and intuitive frameworks for running quantum computing experiments and analyzing data. Optimize the performance of instrument servers and transpilers to enable faster experiment throughput. Collaborate with scientists to implement hardware-level recalibration and quantum error correction techniques. Profile and improve the performance of experiment and analysis tools to enable scaling to larger devices. Leverage automation and observability to monitor and orchestrate control hardware systems as they scale. Empower scientists to contribute to the codebase through mentorship and documentation. About the role and team
You will be joining the software group within the AWS Center of Quantum Computing. The team is comprised of scientists and software engineers building scalable software that enables quantum computing technologies. Basic Qualifications
PhD, or Master’s degree and 4+ years of CS, CE, ML or related field experience 2+ years of Python software development experience Experience working with scientists in a research environment Experience with the full software development lifecycle (planning, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance) Experience with one or more of the following:
Commercial, academic, or open-source quantum control systems RFSoC development platforms + FPGA development (e.g., AMD ZCU216) Laboratory test and measurement equipment and drivers (e.g., Spectrum Analyzer, VNA)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with common open-source scientific software Experience in experimental physics or quantum computing Experience with AWS tools and services (or cloud computing in general) Experience with releasing open source software and/or publishing research papers Experience with software telemetry systems and standards (e.g., CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry) Amazon is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of protected veteran status, disability, or other legally protected status. Our inclusive culture empowers Amazonians to deliver the best results for our customers. If you have a disability and need a workplace accommodation or adjustment during the application and hiring process, including support for the interview or onboarding process, please visit amazon’s accommodations page for more information.
