About this role

QPU Software Engineer Boston, MA, USA Role Overview We are seeking a Software Engineer to join our QPU SW Engineering team. In this role, you will develop the software that orchestrates and controls our quantum hardware stack-from real-time control of lasers and FPGAs to system-wide configuration, diagnostics, and feedback. Working closely with physicists, systems architects, and hardware engineers, you'll build the tools and infrastructure that enable precise, reliable, and scalable quantum operations. Key Responsibilities - Design and implement software systems for orchestrating quantum experiments, including pulse sequence generation, device coordination, and real-time system control. - Develop and maintain APIs and middleware that connect hardware control layers (e.g., FPGA, DACs, timing systems) with higher-level orchestration software and compilers. - Implement reliable communication and synchronization protocols across embedded and distributed system components. - Collaborate with system architects and physicists to translate experimental requirements into testable, high-performance software features. - Contribute to diagnostic and calibration routines for hardware validation and performance monitoring. - Develop tooling to support automation, test infrastructure, system state management, and logging. - Participate in system bring-up, integration testing, and cross-disciplinary debugging efforts. - Contribute to software architecture decisions, code reviews, and best practices across the engineering team. Required Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field. - 5+ years of experience developing software for hardware control, embedded systems, or distributed systems. - Strong programming skills in Python and/or C/C++ , and experience working with hardware interfaces (e.g., SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
