IonQ is looking to develop the world's most powerful full-stack quantum computer based on trapped-ion technology, and needs a Software Engineer to design software that can effectively improve the development and delivery of quantum computer products.

Requirements

• Experience through the full life cycle of a large scale software product used for automating the operations of a complicated electrical, mechanical, or optical system
• Experience deploying mathematical optimization or machine learning in commercially or industrially useful ways
• Experience developing embedded software or higher level interfaces for a device relying on closely coupled FPGA and CPU processing components
• Proficiency with lab equipment relevant to experimental physics including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, logic analyzers, power meters, RF cables, fiber optics, and breakout boards
• Hands-on experience configuring and troubleshooting applications deployed in containers and orchestration systems such as Docker and Kubernetes
• Expertise in Python packaging, containerization and/or virtual environment administration
• Familiarity with the fundamental principles of compilers

Responsibilities

• Learn the fundamental principles of our products and their development activities in order to design software which can effectively improve both
• Write code used to run physical experiments and quantum computer operations
• Automate and optimize the calibration of our systems' physical parameters
• Pair program with experimental physicists, teaching scalable software engineering practices along the way
• Conduct hands-on testing at multiple levels of our software stack, from high level API to analog signals on an oscilloscope
• Effectively self-manage projects, priorities, deadlines, and deliverables
• Mentor junior staff

Other

• 7+ years experience as a core software developer of applications that many users depend on to do their jobs
• 7+ years experience advancing the development of a commercial or industrial electronic hardware product and/or conducting fundamental research requiring complicated electronic or optical systems
• A PhD earned supporting research in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, quantum computing, or related fields
• Less than 10% travel time between office sites
• Must be near one of our offices in College Park, Seattle, or Toronto
• Must be a U.S.-person for export controls and government contracts work and/or obtain any necessary license/confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls
