Embedded Engineer Full Time NEW

Quantum Machines is a global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth.

Our innovative hardware and software mark a groundbreaking approach in quantum computer control, scaling from individual qubits to expansive arrays of thousands.

At the core of QM lies a passionate and ambitious team committed to reshaping the construction and operation of quantum computers. Our work is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs, driving us to deliver unparalleled solutions in this revolutionary field.

We are looking for a hands-on Embedded Engineer, specialized in low-level embedded development, as part of the QM-Platform team. This role involves low-level SW design on complex HW & Logic, board- and platform-level prototyping, and tight integration with FPGA/RTL logic.

You will collaborate closely with hardware, FPGA/RTL, software, and system teams across multiple sites to deliver cutting-edge embedded solutions that power quantum control systems.

Responsibilities

• Drive board-level and platform-level prototyping, bring-up, and validation for new embedded platforms.
• Develop, integrate, and maintain low-level drivers and system-level embedded software.
• Collaborate with FPGA/RTL team members, to integrate logic components into the embedded platform.
• Own and execute system bring-up activities, including debugging HW/Logic/SW interfaces.
• Take part in system-level architecture and cross-team design definitions.
• Conduct technical reviews, establish best practices, and help shape the direction of the low-level embedded domain.

Requirements:

Must-Haves

• 5+ years of RT-os / Embedded-OS / Linux system programming.
• Hands-on embedded systems experience.
• Lab bring-up experience (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, board bring-up, HW debugging).
• Multi-threaded application & framework development, in C/C++ and python.
• Driver-level development and experience with embedded interfaces (PCIe, AXI, I2C, SPI, UART)
• Experience maintaining production-quality code for large systems.
• Strong understanding of software architecture and system design patterns.
• B.Sc. or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams.

Advantages

• Experience integrating RTL/FPGA components with embedded systems.
• Experience in Linux kernel development, including boot flow, device drivers, and kernel-level debugging.
