Senior Embedded Systems Engineer
About The Position
Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. As a deep-tech startup, we embrace a results-driven, fast-paced, and customer-focused approach to innovation. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward. We encourage applications from engineers with expertise in high-performance signal processing in programmable logic , particularly those with experience in RF waveform synthesis, high-bandwidth control servos, image processing, or math accelerators. At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation: We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact. We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities. We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail. We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress.
