ABOUT US

Founded in 2017, Q-CTRL has grown to become the global leader in quantum control infrastructure software. As a product-led company, we bring together diverse teams such as product, design, engineering and research to help achieve our mission of making quantum technology useful. We believe that working in deep tech domains like quantum provides an opportunity to upskill whilst applying existing knowledge and practices to new markets.

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.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• 
  
  
  
• Own the development, integration, and support of software applications employed in Q-CTRL’s quantum sensors and auxiliary hardware.

• Be responsible for the design, implementation, and testing of software applications used in the optimization of next generation quantum sensing, navigation, and map-matching technology.
• Integrate our quantum sensing solutions with Q-CTRL’s cloud services.
• Liaise with scientists to develop solutions to issues that arise during research and development in the lab.
• Work on critical quantum sensing field trials with key industry partners.
• Own and improve continuous integration systems and software testing infrastructure.
