Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer (FAB238/DEC242) Cambridge, UK | Full-time or Part-time | Permanent | Hybrid We will also consider part-time applications for this role. Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter. About us Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From advances in material science to complex chemistry simulation for drug design and discovery, quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s most important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack, Deltaflow, to make this happen. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. We recently raised $75M in Series C funding to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), and are partnering with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast. About the role As an Embedded Software Engineer at Riverlane, you will use your expert embedded software skills to design and engineer the real-time software for the world’s first Quantum Error Correction (QEC) stack. Building on our existing first generation of Deltaflow products, this is a rare opportunity to shape and influence embedded software at Riverlane, having a far-reaching impact on our designs and directly impacting our products. With responsibility from day one, you will collaborate closely with our external partners, as well as with our world-class Engineering, Product and Quantum Science teams to define, build and deliver our cutting-edge control system. Your work will have a direct impact on fault tolerant quantum computing. At Riverlane, we are building something brand new. The projects you will work on will be truly unique, complex and large-scale, so you need to be comfortable with engineering to evolving specs. A natural problem-solver, you will be curious in your approach and solutions driven. You will work well with different people and have a ‘ship’ mentality… and you will learn quantum computing along the way Requirements What you will do You will work with our talented embedded software team and hardware designers to designand build the embedded software for the world’s first Quantum Error Correction Stack. In your role as Embedded Software Engineer, you will: Design and build the embedded runtime of the QEC system Build any other libraries and tools needed for the embedded runtime, like simulators, profilers, compilers, etc. Design scalable and verifiable systems Write code that is correct and performant Work with both user-level software and FPGA/ ASIC hardware systems You do not need a background in quantum computing You will learn this along the way... What we need Track record of bringup and delivery of embedded software systems on commercial CPUs/FPGA/ASICs Excellent communication skills and attention to detail Deep experience in C++ or C Experience in scripting languages, like Python What can you expect from us A comprehensive benefits package that includes an annual bonus plan, private medical insurance, life insurance, and a contributory pension scheme Equity, so that our team can share in the long-term success of Riverlane 28 days annual leave, plus bank holidays and enhanced family leave A diverse work environment that brings together experts in many fields (including software and hardware development, quantum information theory, physics and maths) and over 20 different nationalities A learning environment that encourages individual, team and company growth and learning, including an annual training and conference budget for each staff member How to apply Please upload your CV and a cover letter using the 'Apply Now' link.
