Job Level
Tech Stack
About the role
- Independently design, implement, validate, and maintain embedded and systems‑level software subsystems supporting real‑time quantum error correction and control.
- Translate quantum error‑correction requirements (code distance, syndrome rates, latency budgets) into concrete classical compute, memory, and interconnect requirements.
- Design systems that meet deterministic latency, bandwidth, and reliability requirements across CPU, GPU, FPGA, and high‑speed interconnect domains.
- Serve as the technical point‑of‑contact for NVIDIA NVQLink integration, including topology, bandwidth modeling, latency characterization, and failure modes.
- Collaborate closely with Quantum Software, Physics, Electrical, and Systems Engineering to co‑design hardware/software interfaces.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex performance, scaling, and integration issues spanning firmware, drivers, OS (Embedded Linux / bare-metal environments), GPU runtimes, and hardware.
- Develop and maintain validation infrastructure, performance benchmarks, and test harnesses for deterministic behavior and scaling.
- Provide informal mentorship through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance.
Requirements
- A degree (PhD preferred) in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field with experience in high-performance computing (HPC).
- Demonstrated experience owning complex embedded or systems‑level software subsystems end‑to‑end.
- Strong experience with C/C++ in performance‑critical systems.
- Experience debugging across software and hardware boundaries (drivers, firmware, interconnects, timing).
- Solid understanding of computer architecture fundamentals (memory hierarchies, interconnects, latency vs throughput tradeoffs).
- Experience with hardware/software co‑design for quantum control systems
- Experience working in Linux‑based embedded or HPC environments.
- Familiarity with GPU programming models (CUDA or equivalent) at a systems level.
