Job Title: Quantum Sensing Engineer
About the Role
We are seeking a skilled engineer to develop applications on our Linux control platform for our quantum accelerometers and magnetometers.
You'll work closely with research scientists developing sensing and navigation algorithms to produce robust and computationally efficient implementations suitable for deployment on mobile platforms (e.g. ships, planes, drones).
You will join a growing team focused on quantum sensing for defence and aerospace, and work with experts in fields such as cold-atom interferometry, magnetometry, and inertial navigation to develop state-of-the-art technology.
Responsibilities
Owning development, integration, and support of software applications employed in our quantum sensors and auxiliary hardware.
Being responsible for design, implementation, and testing of software applications used in the optimization of next generation quantum sensing, navigation, and map-matching technology.
Integrating our quantum sensing solutions with cloud services.
Working in cross-functional teams of scientists and engineers to solve novel issues in research & development and product-focused environments.
Working on critical quantum sensing field trials with key industry partners.
Owning and improving continuous integration systems and software testing infrastructure.
Ideal Candidate
Having experience working in a research environment while collaborating with established engineering teams and research scientists.
Having experience in writing numerical software or algorithm development, with an emphasis on inertial navigation, state estimation, data fusion, or optimization.
Proficiency with a systems programming language such as C, C++, or Rust.
Proficiency in using Python tools and packages for data processing.
Having experience setting up and maintaining continuous integration systems.
Demonstrated leadership in driving software development best practices in engineering teams.
