Senior Embedded Systems Engineer

Job Responsibilities

• 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.
• 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.
• Expertise in working with industry standard hardware descriptive languages (Verilog, System Verilog, or VHDL).
• Comfortable working in a Linux development environment and working with standard scripting languages (Python, bash).
• Good verbal and written communication skills, able to effectively share information with technical and non-technical staff.
• Good collaboration skills, able to work in a team environment where engagement and participation are an expected part of successful job performance.
