About the role

Embedded Systems Engineer developing firmware and automated tests for quantum control systems. Collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams for hardware and software integration in quantum computing.

Responsibilities

Design, develop and test embedded firmware and software for our quantum control and readout systems
Develop and extend automated testing frameworks (unit, integration, and hardware-in-the-loop tests)
Coordinate with FPGA designers to diagnose and resolve cross-boundary bugs (latched values, timing mismatches, resets, interrupts, etc.)
Assist in validating FPGA builds by writing firmware-side drivers, test programs, and data-capture tools
Refactor and improve legacy C firmware to enhance reliability, readability, and maintainability
Work closely with the multi-disciplinary teams in Engineering, Software and Processor Development
Maintain version-controlled documentation integrated with development workflows
Perform routine engineering tasks independently while seeking guidance on new or complex assignments, raising potential roadblocks early, and collaborating on problem-solving where appropriate

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, Engineering Physics, or equivalent experience
2+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems
Familiarity with VHDL/Verilog sufficient to understand module interfaces
Strong understanding of hardware/software co-design principles
Solid grasp of digital logic fundamentals, timing concepts and low-level interfaces
Experience working with FPGA register maps, memory-mapped interfaces, low-level timing requirements, and communication protocols
Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively and ask clarifying questions when needed
Demonstrated ability to organize work, make small independent decisions, and take ownership of assigned tasks
