Candidates must be a U.S. person, defined as a U.S. citizen, permanent resident or green card holder, or a worker granted asylum or refugee status.
Nationals of the People's Republic of China or Russian nationals are ineligible unless they are also a U.S. citizen, due to national security requirements.

This role is for a Software Test Electrical Engineer focused on developing next-generation control systems for commercial and developmental Quantum Computers. The engineer will leverage their understanding of electrical engineering systems to create embedded software and automated test platforms that integrate and control hardware. Key duties include working in a rapid prototyping R&D environment, collaborating with engineering teams, and successfully completing projects on time.

Key Responsibilities

Develop embedded software solutions and automated test platforms by leveraging electrical engineering knowledge to integrate and control quantum computer hardware.

Collaborate with electrical engineering and other disciplines to solve software and electrical problems, covering development, debugging, testing, and system integration.

Work actively within a fast-paced research and development and rapid prototyping environment.

Manage and successfully complete assigned projects within deadlines with minimal supervision.

Required Skills

Minimum 4 years of experience in embedded software development.

Minimum 2 years of experience working in an R&D and rapid prototyping environment.

Hold a Bachelor's degree or higher.

Nice-to-have Skills

Proficiency in C/C++ and Python programming languages.

Experience developing embedded software for SoC FPGAs using embedded Linux and Vitis SDK.

Experience writing low-level device drivers for various interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, High Speed serial).

Experience with Jenkins workflow development.

Ability to use typical lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, DMM, and logic analyzers.

Basic understanding of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) like Verilog or VHDL.

Proficiency with software testing and deployment tools.
