Full Job Description

DESCRIPTION

Amazon Braket is investing in fault-tolerant quantum computing capabilities. We are looking for an Applied Scientist to own resource estimation and workload benchmarking for fault-tolerant quantum workloads on AWS. You will answer the fundamental questions: how many physical qubits are needed, what gate depths are achievable, and what error budgets are realistic for a given algorithm on a given device. Your models will inform technical decisions, customer conversations, and our roadmap.

This role requires more than resource estimation methodology alone. You need a broad foundation in quantum error correction research to reason about the full picture: how code choices affect resource requirements, how logical circuit structure impacts physical costs, and how benchmarking results feed back into the system. You will be part of a small team of scientists and engineers, and we expect you to codify your solutions in production-quality code and contribute directly to the codebase alongside your teammates.

Key job responsibilities

Build and maintain FTQC resource estimation models that determine qubit counts, gate depths, and error budgets for target algorithms
Develop benchmarking frameworks that evaluate compilation quality against realistic hardware constraints
Produce resource estimates that inform technical decisions and feed into customer readiness work led by the Applications & Engagement team
Collaborate with the QEC compilation scientists on how resource estimates feed back into code selection and optimization
Connect benchmarking outputs to published materials in coordination with Braket's science and product teams
Stay current with the rapidly evolving QEC literature and incorporate new results into estimation models

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

Knowledge of programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Java or Perl
PhD in Physics, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or related field with focus on quantum computing
Research background in quantum error correction (not limited to resource estimation alone)
Experience building computational models for quantum systems
Strong programming skills in Python; familiarity with at least one compiled language (C++, Rust, or Julia) for performance-sensitive implementations
Familiarity with QEC concepts: error correction codes, logical operations, decoding strategies

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

Experience with resource estimation for fault-tolerant quantum algorithms (e.g., using tools like Microsoft QRE, or custom estimation frameworks)
Background in error correction code analysis and logical circuit design
Experience benchmarking quantum hardware or quantum software toolchains
Familiarity with multiple qubit modalities (superconducting, trapped ion, or neutral atom)
Publications in resource estimation, QEC, or fault-tolerant quantum computation
Experience translating technical results into customer-facing communications or product definitions
