Measurement Software Engineer- Quantum Control
Join to apply for the Measurement Software Engineer- Quantum Control role at Diraq
Help shape the story of a technology that could redefine computing itself.
At Diraq, we're not just imagining the future of quantum computing — we're building it.
Our mission is bold: enabling millions of qubits on a single chip, and we've already proven it's possible.
Our design is CMOS-native (runs on the same fabrication technology used in today's smartphones and computers) and we're partnered with the world's leading foundries.
We are looking for a Measurement Software Engineer to help build a comprehensive quantum measurement and control software system from the ground up.
This role involves implementing the complete quantum control pipeline—from quantum circuits to hardware execution—while ensuring robust validation, error handling, and seamless integration with advanced hardware systems.
Job Requirements
Have a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
Experienced with Python and comfortable with C++ (or willing to learn).
Knowledgeable about signal processing—waveform generation, synthesis, digitization, and validation.
Experienced with multi-component system architecture—understanding data flow through compilation, validation, and execution stages.
Comfortable with hardware integration at multiple levels.
Proficient with Git and collaborative development workflows.
Advocate for lean, minimalistic code with clear separation of concerns across system components.
Comfortable working with scientific/technical data and understanding quantum computing domain requirements.
Bonus Points If You...
Have experience with quantum computing or quantum control systems.
Have worked with laboratory instrumentation—AWGs, digitizers, microwave sources, control electronics.
Have worked with FPGA or embedded systems for real-time control.
Have experience with compiler design or multi-stage compilation pipelines.
Have built validation and testing frameworks for complex systems.
Have contributed to open-source scientific software projects.
Have experience with distributed storage systems and data correlation across multiple databases.
Understand device safety limits and hardware protection mechanisms.
Job Responsibilities
Build our new comprehensive quantum measurement and control software system from the ground up.
Implement the entire quantum control pipeline from quantum circuits through to hardware execution.
Work with multi-layer validation systems.
Interface with comprehensive storage and tracking systems.
Implement error handling and safety systems.
Interface with Quantum Machines hardware (DACs/ADCs).
Collaborate with quantum theorists and experimentalists to enable quantum control research.
Be part of a team that values rigour, creativity, and collaboration.
Work with world-class scientists and engineers on ambitious technical challenges.
Help shape a future where quantum computing is accessible, scalable, and transformative.
