Applied Scientist, AWS Center for Quantum Computing, Design and Simulation
Amazon, San Francisco, California, United States, 94199
DESCRIPTION
Ready to apply Before you do, make sure to read all the details pertaining to this job in the description below.
The AWS Center for Quantum Computing is looking to hire an Applied Scientist with expertise in computational physics as well as software engineering. In this role, you will work on Palace, our open-source cloud-scalable 3D finite-element electromagnetics solver [1,2], as well as research related to numerical simulation and scientific computing.
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. Take a look at what we're building!
Key job responsibilitiesYou will build modeling and simulation capabilities in an open-source 3D finite element electromagnetics solver, diagnose and improve performance, maintain CI/CD and builds, and address issues reported internally and externally.
You will conduct research at the intersection of computational electromagnetics and superconducting quantum computing and serve as a domain expert and mentor to internal team members who work on device design and modeling and simulation tools.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- PhD, or Master's degree and 6+ years of applied research experience- Experience programming in Java, C++, Python or related language- Experience in any of the following areas: algorithms and data structures, parsing, numerical optimization, data mining, parallel and distributed computing, high-performance computing
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience with high-performance computing- Experience developing software that scales in heterogeneous computing environments, including CPUs and GPUs- Experience with CAD and EDA software- Experience developing software in Julia and C++- Knowledge of electromagnetics, microwave engineering, and/or superconducting qubits- Knowledge of numerical linear algebra, computational geometry, meshing, and finite-element methods- Experience using or developing techniques in machine learning and generative AI is a plus
