About The Position

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. Infleqtion is seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to support the development and integration of advanced Quantum RF (QRF) sensing systems. This role focuses on designing and implementing the gateware, software, and hardware to enable opto-electrical control systems for our quantum sensing solutions. In this role, you will work closely with a cross-functional team of software engineers, opto-mechanical engineers, and physicists to develop unique control algorithms and complex data processing tools. You will be part of a purpose-built team to bring quantum systems from lab environments to field demonstrations.

Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
4+ years of experience in embedded systems, FPGA development, or mixed signal design
Familiarity with one two following areas, proficiency in both areas preferred: Embedded system development in Rust. If you have relevant expertise but with C/C++, you may still be successful in this role if you have interest in Rust and have some idea of how Rust can be used to rapidly develop safe and performant systems
FPGA development in any HDL with experience in RF synthesis. Whether you like to work in Verilog/VHDL or bleeding-edge languages like SpinalHDL, nMigen, or MyHDL
Experience interfacing with hardware (SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, etc.)
Strong debugging skills across hardware and software boundaries
Experience with common benchtop test equipment, such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, multimeters, and power supplies
This position may require access to information protected under U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Please note that any offer for employment may be conditioned on authorization to receive software or technology controlled under these U.S. export control laws and regulations without sponsorship for an export license
