Position Summary Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. As a deep-tech startup, we embrace a results-driven, fast-paced, and customer-focused approach to innovation. We are seeking self-motivated, energetic individuals with exceptional problem-solving and technical skills to help drive our Quantum Computing mission forward. We encourage applications from engineers with expertise in high-performance signal processing in programmable logic, particularly those with experience in RF waveform synthesis, high-bandwidth control servos, image processing, or math accelerators. At Infleqtion we embrace a startup mentality driven by results, urgency, and customer-focused innovation: We break down barriers between disciplines, stepping in wherever we can make the biggest impact. We thrive in uncertainty, embracing challenges as opportunities. We move quickly to prototype while never losing sight of the critical importance of systems engineering process and attention to detail. We take bold, calculated risks to drive progress. JOB RESPONSIBILITIES The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned at any time with or without notice. Collaborate with physicists and across electrical, software, and opto-mechanical engineering domains to deliver optimal embedded system solutions for quantum applications. Develop testable, performant, and scalable RTL using SpinalHDL. Support hands on tuning and troubleshooting in laboratory and test bench environments Architect processing chains with supporting analytical models to ensure that critical design requirements are met. Embrace best modern software engineering practices to ensure robustness and maintainability and facilitate collaboration. This includes leveraging revision control, CI pipelines, static analysis tools, and automated build pipelines. Participate in design, code, and data reviews. REQUIREMENTS Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science or related field and a minimum of 8 years prior work experience.
