Software Engineer - Control Systems
About The Position
As a Software Engineer on the controls side, you will develop and own components that enable nanosecond-level timing of laser modulation signals, precision acquisition from high-speed cameras, and complex system-of-systems monitoring and diagnostics. We are looking for candidates who can work across the software/hardware boundary with strong backgrounds in hardware-in-the-loop testing, data pipelines for calibration and operations, and distributed infrastructure monitoring and control. You will collaborate with atomic physicists and other controls engineers to establish and monitor performance benchmarks that ensure our controls stack sustains robust, distributed quantum computations. This position requires hands-on instrumentation work and strong software fundamentals. It benefits from experience integrating technologies such as high-speed cameras, RF signal generators, GPUs, and Linux kernel customizations. A physics background is a plus but not essential — we find that engineers from adjacent fields bring valuable perspective. No knowledge of quantum computing is not required, though we're happy to teach you.
