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 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 + Skilled in typical software engineering disciplines: testing, revision control (git), error-handling, readability, documentation, general code health, etc. + Desire to constantly improve and learn inside and outside of expertise PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: + 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 the following applications: + RF waveform synthesis and processing + Modern closed-loop control systems (e.g. state space controllers) + Image processing + 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 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.
