Software Engineer, Quantum Sensing
Q-CTRL • AUPythonC++
About the team
The Sensing Engineering team at Q-CTRL transforms quantum research into deployable technologies that address real-world problems. We design, build, and field-validate an array of quantum sensors that support our key products, including Ironestone Opal - our solution for GPS-denied navigation.
You don’t need a background in quantum to make an impact here. We value strong engineering fundamentals, a product mindset, and a drive to solve the hardest engineering problems in quantum sensing today.
About the role
We are seeking a Software Engineer to develop applications on our Linux control platform for our quantum accelerometers and magnetometers in order to optimize sensor performance online, execute navigation and map-matching algorithms, efficiently log and process operational data, interface with Q-CTRL’s cloud services, and generally assist with scientific exploration in the field of quantum sensing. You’ll work closely with research scientists who are developing sensing and navigation algorithms to produce robust and computationally efficient implementations suitable for deployment on mobile platforms (e.g. ships, planes, drones) operating in real-world environments. As the maturity of our quantum sensing technology increases you’ll drive a culture of software development best practices, testing, and release management to ensure Q-CTRL’s quantum sensing teams are delivering the highest quality software possible.
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.
