Senior Software Engineer (Control Systems)

Join Atom Computing, a leading company in the quantum computing industry, as a Senior Software Engineer. In this hands-on engineering role, you will design and build high-performance control systems for our next-generation quantum computing platforms. You will work across embedded software, real-time systems, GPU/FPGA acceleration, and hardware orchestration to deliver deterministic, high-throughput control pipelines. Your work will directly impact the operation, scaling, and performance of our quantum processors.

• Design and build high-performance control systems for quantum computing platforms, focusing on embedded software, real-time systems, and hardware orchestration.
• Develop and optimize deterministic, low-latency software for quantum hardware, including device drivers, Linux kernel modules, and custom subsystems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate quantum control flows into fast, reliable, production-ready code, and drive design decisions around determinism, throughput, and system scalability.
• At least 5 years of relevant postgraduate professional experience. Experienced candidates welcome
• BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Proficiency in software development using C++, Python, Rust, or Go, and experience with NVIDIA CUDA or FPGA design in VHDL or Verilog. An ability to apply these skills in rapid prototyping
• Knowledge in one or more of the following areas: computer architecture, signal processing, algorithm development, quantum error correction, distributed systems, or compilers, with a willingness to learn across disciplines as needed
