About The Position

Are you excited to apply RF quantum sensing technologies to critical national security missions? Your expertise in RF digital signal processing software development will be critical to integrate, test, and evaluate RF quantum sensing technologies. Apply core principles, theories, and concepts to provide effective solutions for practical applications. Solve complex technical problems and deliver innovative solutions. Operate with substantial independence and provide oversight or mentorship for your team’s technical competencies. Collaborate effectively with minimal supervision, overseeing and mentoring junior employees as needed. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on embedded software, hardware-software integration, and system reliability. You will work across microcontrollers, device communications, motorized subsystems, sensors, and control logic that directly affect RF and quantum sensing system performance in production. The right candidate is comfortable debugging at every layer, from firmware behavior and electrical interfaces to system-level interactions in deployed hardware. This position is located in Colorado Springs, CO and requires laboratory work. This position requires the ability to travel up to 25% of the time. Join us. The world can't wait.

Requirements
