About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Develop high-performance device drivers in modern C/C++, with Python bindings for higher-level testing and system interfaces.
Build automated test protocols for quantum hardware drivers and embedded software, covering functional, security, timing, latency and performance requirements.
Translate quantum-level goals from scientific teams into clear firmware requirements, test cases and CI/CD quality gates.
Collaborate with FPGA and Compiler teams to refine system architecture and technical specifications for new low-level capabilities.
Provision and operate hardware-in-the-loop testing environments for new features and existing systems.
Design, review and document embedded software components, turning early-stage ideas into practical architectural design records.
Diagnose and resolve software issues in experimental hardware while partnering with multidisciplinary engineering teams to accelerate full-stack quantum computer development.

Requirements

What you’ll need

A Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent experience, in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering or a related numerical discipline.
Strong Python development skills.
Proficiency in modern, performance-focused C++, including safe memory management, constant expressions, metaprogramming and Linux runtimes; equivalent proficiency in Rust will also be considered.
Experience developing software for constrained-memory environments and compute-intensive workloads.
