Sr Embedded Software Engineer
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 real-time embedded software applications, particularly those with experience in precision, high-performance, control systems.
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 software solutions for quantum applications
Develop reliable and robust embedded software that leverages high test coverage and CI pipelines to facilitate smooth collaboration with peers and deploy with confidence
Support hands on tuning and troubleshooting in laboratory and test bench environments
Build thorough documentation and mathematical models to demonstrate that algorithms, approaches, and signal processing technique meet critical architecture requirements
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.
Experience with Rust or experience with compiled languages (C/C++) and desire to learn and work in Rust
Experience with interpreting datasheets and schematics
Knowledge of Embedded Linux development in user and kernel space

Desire to constantly improve and learn inside and outside of expertise
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
Developing for programmable logic targets (especially Xilinx Zynq MPSOC)
Comfort with low-level development on several processor architectures (ARM Cortex, ARM Application, RISC-V, etc.)
Embedded Linux OS distribution builds (nix, Yocto, or Buildroot)
High-performance real time development (bare metal / RTOS)
Familiarity with common electrical test equipment like oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
Familiarity with programmable logic / FPGAs and working with hardware descriptive languages
Control system architecture and design
Benefits
The targeted salary range for this role is $131,000 to $175,000 on an annualized basis plus eligibility to participate in our annual incentive plan.
