Job Responsibilities
Build, commission, troubleshoot and improve the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
Optimize and support deterministic, low-latency software to ensure stable, production-grade quantum operations.
Manage and improve orchestration layers coordinating GPUs, FPGAs, and custom electronics for high-bandwidth, synchronized quantum control operations.
Build, commission, troubleshoot and improve the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
Apply knowledge of atomic physics and quantum computing to proactively identify failure modes and improve system reliability and uptime.
This position requires participation in an after-hours on-call rotation.
Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
Experience & Education
PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
Qualifications
Proficiency in software development using C++, Python, or Rust, and experience with real-time systems, FPGA design (VHDL/Verilog), or NVIDIA CUDA.
Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
Proven ability to troubleshoot complex hardware/software co-designs and maintain production-ready code in a high-stakes, 24/7 operational environment
