    Full time
    Description

    The salary range for this position is $115,692 - $151,471.

    We are looking for an embedded software development engineer. You'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems.

    Our quantum control system schedules real-time device operations to create quantum programs, scheduling real-time operations to control lasers and other devices that create quantum gates. We're looking for a software engineer to help us expand the capabilities of our real-time control flow.

    In this role, you will work to expand the real-time control scheduling and control flow of our quantum control system. This role requires working closely with research physicists, hardware engineers, and other software teams at all stages of the software lifecycle.

    Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve software components, systems, and features for real-time device control
  • Write high-quality, well-tested, production-ready code in Rust and other languages
  • Collaborate with an experienced interdisciplinary staff
  • Approach problems pragmatically
  • Help us continuously improve how we do things

    The ideal candidate will have professional experience with a systems programming language on embedded systems.

    You'd be a good fit with:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Physics, Math, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
  • 2+ years experience in software development in one or more general purpose programming languages, with knowledge of at least one systems programming language (e.g. C, C++, Rust)
  • Experience on embedded hardware
  • 5+ years experience with real-time operating systems and real-time scheduling models
  • Experience writing deterministic hard real-time software
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • A love of collaborating in an interdisciplinary environment

    You'd be a great fit with:

  • Master's degree or PhD in Engineering, Physics, Math, Computer Science, or related technical field
  • Experience with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or other hardware test equipment

    Location:

    IonQ's quantum control teams are based in our bright, airy offices in College Park, MD and Seattle, WA. While we can be flexible for the right candidate, colocation supports our highly collaborative and interactive work with the hardware teams building the world's best quantum computers.

    IonQ focuses on Cloud Computing. Their company has offices in Seattle, District of Columbia, and College Park. They have a large team that's between employees. To date, IonQ has raised $75M of funding; their latest round was closed on September 2021.
