Infleqtion is hiring an Embedded Systems Engineer to architect and develop embedded system solutions for quantum technology applications. In this role, you will collaborate deeply with physicists and across electrical, software, and opto-mechanical engineering domains to deliver optimal, integrated systems.
What You'll Do
- Collaborate with physicists and engineers across multiple domains to deliver 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 critical design requirements are met.
- Embrace modern software engineering practices including revision control, CI pipelines, static analysis, and automated builds.
- Participate in design, code, and data reviews.
What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a related field and a minimum of 8 years of prior work experience.
- Expertise with industry standard hardware descriptive languages (Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL).
- Comfortable working in a Linux development environment and with standard scripting languages (Python, bash).
- Good verbal and written communication skills, able to share information effectively with technical and non-technical staff.
- Good collaboration skills, able to work in a team environment where engagement is an expected part of successful performance.
- Skilled in typical software engineering disciplines: testing, revision control (git), error-handling, readability, documentation, and general code health.
- A desire to constantly improve and learn inside and outside of your expertise.
Nice to Have
- Expertise working with AMD Xilinx programmable logic devices (especially Zynq Ultrascale+ MPSoC).
- Experience developing RTL in high level functional languages (especially Scala / SpinalHDL).
- Expertise in developing HDL for one or more of: RF waveform synthesis and processing, modern closed-loop control systems, image processing, or matrix arithmetic accelerators.
- Familiarity with Embedded Linux OS distribution builds (nix, Yocto, or Buildroot).
- Experience working with compiled languages for Linux and baremetal targets (especially Rust).
- Experience leading small technical teams or projects.
Technical Stack
- HDL: Verilog, System Verilog, VHDL, SpinalHDL, Scala
- Platforms & Tools: Linux, git, AMD Xilinx programmable logic devices
- Languages & Scripting: Python, bash, Rust
- Embedded Systems: nix, Yocto, Buildroot
Team & Environment
You will collaborate closely with physicists and across electrical, software, and opto-mechanical engineering domains.
