À propos de ce poste Quantum Operations Engineer, Control Systems chez Atomcomputing
At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a Quantum Operations Engineer with a strong background in software and firmware engineering to commission, operate, support, and improve our quantum computer located in Copenhagen, Denmark. This role bridges the gap between fundamental atomic physics and high-performance control systems. You will join our systems dedicated operations team in Denmark to lead the initial system build, commissioning, and long-term stability of our quantum computing infrastructure. We are specifically interested in candidates who can translate quantum control flows into reliable, production-ready code while managing complex scientific hardware.
Job Responsibilities
- Build, commission, troubleshoot and improve the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
- Optimize and support deterministic, low-latency software to ensure stable, production-grade quantum operations.
- Manage and improve orchestration layers coordinating GPUs, FPGAs, and custom electronics for high-bandwidth, synchronized quantum control operations.
- Build, commission, troubleshoot and improve the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
- Apply knowledge of atomic physics and quantum computing to proactively identify failure modes and improve system reliability and uptime.
- This position requires participation in an after-hours on-call rotation.
- Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
Experience & Education
- PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
Qualifications
- Proficiency in software development using C++, Python, or Rust, and experience with real-time systems, FPGA design (VHDL/Verilog), or NVIDIA CUDA.
- Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
- Proven ability to troubleshoot complex hardware/software co-designs and maintain production-ready code in a high-stakes, 24/7 operational environment
Atom Computing Denmark provides a variety of benefits, including private medical for our employees and their children, paid time off, a pension plan (with company contribution), disability and life insurance.
We offer a competitive salary commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
