Atom Computing is seeking an embedded software engineer to assist in the implementation of the control systems for their quantum computers, aiming to solve complex computational problems.
Requirements
- Proficiency with Rust, Python, and C/C++.
- Expertise in embedded Linux and bare metal firmware development in C/C++ for ARM microcontrollers and embedded microprocessors.
- Familiarity with Git version control and software development best practices.
- Integration, debug, and test experience with prototype electronics assemblies.
- Software-defined radio knowledge, knowledge of Lua, and familiarity with digital interfaces to FPGAs are definite pluses.
Responsibilities
- Develop and test firmware and software for high-speed arbitrary waveform generation, image processing, scientific instrument control, and digital feedback loops.
- Implement embedded device driver APIs, Linux kernel modules, and orchestration functions in Rust, Python, and C/C++.
- Integrate and test control system hardware and software.
- Write test procedures, unit tests and assist with system level testing and debug.
Other
- Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
- Willingness to learn atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts to put work in context.
- Candidates will also be considered for Atom's location in Austin, TX and Berkeley, CA. Under exceptional circumstances we may allow fully remote.
- At least 2+ years of relevant postgraduate professional experience. Experienced candidates welcome. New/recent graduates will not be considered.
