Requirements
5+ years of experience developing software for hardware control, embedded systems, or distributed systems.
, and experience working with hardware interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
Experience with real-time systems or hardware-in-the-loop control environments.
Proficiency in system integration, testing, and performance tuning.
Experience with scientific instrumentation, lab automation, or quantum hardware control systems.
Familiarity with FPGA systems, DAC/ADC control, or pulse sequencing frameworks.
Responsibilities
to join our QPU SW Engineering team.
In this role, you will develop the software that orchestrates and controls our quantum hardware stack—from real-time control of lasers and FPGAs to system-wide configuration, diagnostics, and feedback.
Working closely with physicists, systems architects, and hardware engineers, you’ll build the tools and infrastructure that enable precise, reliable, and scalable quantum operations.
Design and implement software systems for orchestrating quantum experiments, including pulse sequence generation, device coordination, and real-time system control.
Develop and maintain APIs and middleware that connect hardware control layers (e.g., FPGA, DACs, timing systems) with higher-level orchestration software and compilers.
Implement reliable communication and synchronization protocols across embedded and distributed system components.
