Quantum Systems Software Engineer II

Design, implement, and maintain software tools and applications that support configuration, control, and operation of quantum hardware systems. Develop high‑quality, well‑factored software in Python and system languages such as

C, C++, C

#, or Rust. Build and maintain user‑facing applications and tooling using Qt to enable efficient workflows for quantum hardware development and operations. Apply solid software engineering fundamentals, including object‑oriented design, modular architectures, and maintainable codebases. Write robust unit, integration, and system tests to ensure correctness and reliability of critical tooling. Collaborate closely with physicists, hardware engineers, and other software teams to translate complex system requirements into practical software solutions. Debug and resolve issues across software, system, and hardware boundaries in a fast‑moving Research & Development (R D) environment. Contribute to code reviews, design discussions, and continuous improvement of engineering practices. Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field OR Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 2+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment OR equivalent experience.
