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 About the team ### Diverse Experiences AWS values diverse experiences. Even if you do not meet all of the preferred qualifications and skills listed in the job description, we encourage candidates to apply. If your career is just starting, hasn’t followed a traditional path, or includes alternative experiences, don’t let it stop you from applying. Why AWS? Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses. ### Inclusive Team Culture AWS values curiosity and connection. Our employee-led and company-sponsored affinity groups promote inclusion and empower our people to take pride in what makes us unique. Our inclusion events foster stronger, more collaborative teams. Our continual innovation is fueled by the bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and passionate voices our teams bring to everything we do. ### Mentorship & Career Growth We’re continuously raising our performance bar as we strive to become Earth’s Best Employer. That’s why you’ll find endless knowledge-sharing, mentorship and other career-advancing resources here to help you develop into a better-rounded professional. ### Work/Life Balance We value work-life harmony. Achieving success at work should never come at the expense of sacrifices at home, which is why we strive for flexibility as part of our working culture. When we feel supported in the workplace and at home, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. ## At a glance - Posted by the employer: Oct 6, 2026 - First seen by OpenNash: Oct 11, 2026 - Last checked: Oct 18, 2026 - Listed for: 12 days - Location: US, NY, New York[Apply on Amazon’s careers site →](https://www.amazon.jobs/en/jobs/10571309/applied-scientist-fault-tolerant-quantum-computing-amazon-braket) ## More jobs at Amazon ### [Applied Scientist, Sponsored Products](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/da0e61acafa3fce874f9/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist II, Advertising Incrementality Measurement](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/3c55fba0b172480a33da/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, AI & AGI Security](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/189d77980181b3220cee/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, Demand Technology, Amazon Demand Side Platform, Bravo Non-endemic](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/d976c9d622eab4f5a715/) US, NY, New York ### [Applied Scientist III, Sponsored Products](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/amazon/jobs/fdd56eba88e753734428/) US, NY, New York ## Similar jobs at other companies ### [Senior Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/oracle/jobs/f8ed9ff14b05042cc65f/) Oracle · United States ### [Applied Scientist II](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/1932503c468419f688ab/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/microsoft/jobs/6887d8f40d7a9e34526e/) Microsoft · United States, Washington, Redmond ### [Principal, Data Scientist - Applied Machine Learning](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/walmart/jobs/8af78490b17976e76747/) Walmart · United States ### [Senior AI/ML Applied Scientist](https://jobs.opennash.com/companies/unitedhealth-group/jobs/78af7d0e20840c30720f/) UnitedHealth Group · Eden Prairie, Minnesota OpenNash lists jobs from employers’ own careers sites and does not handle applications.
