Job Description

Infleqtion (ColdQuanta/Super.Tech) is the world leader in cold atom quantum technology harnessing the versatile power of atoms to build the future, including: the most precise timekeeping systems; the most sensitive RF detectors; and the most scalable platform for quantum computing. At ColdQuanta, cooling matter to temperatures just millionths of a degree above absolute zero to exploit matter's quantum properties is an everyday reality. Our Quantum Computing team has developed the world's first universal, gate-model quantum computer using cold atoms. Quantum computing is a novel computing modality that uses the bizarre properties of quantum mechanics to process information in a fundamentally new way. Quantum information processing has the potential to revolutionize industries from finance to medicine to materials science and to advance humanity's understanding of the universe. Come help us lead the revolution!

Operation of ColdQuanta's quantum computers rely on precise sequences execution of pulses of light, microwaves, electric, and magnetic fields which are formed and delivered by laser, electronic, and opto-mechanical systems and orchestrated by a sophisticated embedded control system. ColdQuanta is looking for an experienced and passionate Embedded Systems Engineer (ESE) to help with the design and implementation of this control architecture. Where can you use your embedded systems expertise in a more exciting context than manipulating individual atoms by shooting them with laser beams?

The newly hired ESE will be working with scientists and engineers to deliver high-performance real-time embedded systems and will be a key contributor to improving performance in current and future quantum computing systems. A significant amount of time will be spent on RF synthesis for laser modulation; however, the new engineer will have opportunities to work on other novel beam steering technologies, magnetic field generation, and high-bandwidth servos.

The ESE will deploy fearlessly with high test coverage and fully leverage our CI pipelines and hardware test beds to have confidence that your designs will work as expected. Additionally, the Embedded Systems Engineer will work with software engineers to integrate your systems into the larger quantum computer framework and be a contributor towards developing control system architectures for future quantum computing projects.

    • Embedded system development in Rust (Candidates who have relevant expertise with C/C++ may still be successful in this role)
    • FPGA development in any HDL with experience in RF synthesis, including working in Verilog/VHDL or bleeding-edge languages like SpinalHDL, nMigen, or MyHDL
  • Demonstrated experience with high-performance control systems, along with the following experience will make an immediate impact on our team:
    • Xilinx Zync Ultrascale / RFSoC
    • MicroTCA
    • Driver or peripheral development for high-throughput interfaces (PCIe, 10 GbE)
