Job description
Role Overview We are seeking a Software Engineer 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. Key Responsibilities: - 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. - Collaborate with system architects and physicists to translate experimental requirements into testable, high-performance software features. - Contribute to diagnostic and calibration routines for hardware validation and performance monitoring. - Devel...
