About us
We hold the key to making quantum technology useful. Q-CTRL is defining the quantum infrastructure software segment, and our products are revolutionizing the way quantum technology is used. From educating the workforce on how quantum computing works with Black Opal, to our industry-first November 2023 announcement that Q-CTRL’s performance-management software is now natively integrated with IBM Quantum services, we are building the global quantum sector. But our work isn’t limited to quantum computing: we go everywhere that quantum goes. In July 2023 our work with Australian Defence on software-ruggedized quantum sensing for navigation without GPS was featured in the New York Times.
We base these world-leading commercial outcomes on a base of transformational research. We operate the industry’s largest team of experts in quantum control, and push the limits of human capability through our software, hardware, and technical publications in the world’s most prestigious scientific journals.
As a high-growth global quantum startup we’ve raised over US $72M since 2017 from investors such as Airbus Ventures, Horizon Ventures, Main Sequence Ventures, SquarePeg Capital, Sierra Ventures, Salesforce Ventures and others; this includes the world’s largest Series B for any quantum software company. Adding to the completion of our new global HQ in Sydney (Australia’s first fully dedicated, commercial quantum technology site), Los Angeles and Berlin offices, we’ve also recently announced our expansion into the UK to continue to impact the development of quantum technology globally.
We’re led by our values; to be real, to be trusted, to be just, and to be revered. We’ve brought together an inspiring team of world-leading physicists, engineers, product and design specialists (to name a few!) to help us shape the future of quantum technology. And we’re looking for new team members who want to help us change the world.
About the team
The Quantum Sensing division has rapidly evolved since the conception of the business. Three years ago, we realised the opportunity to diversify and build a dedicated quantum sensing hardware and modelling program. Fast forward to 2023 and we have established world-leading capability in Accelerometry, Magnetometry, Miniaturisation and Modelling, with a focus on software-defined quantum sensing hardware. With huge growth projected for 2024 and beyond, we are seeking a new Senior Scientist, Quantum Sensing to join our team based out of Sydney, Australia.
What you'll be doing:
- Will work within the sensing division to create, reduce the SWaP of, and increase the ruggedness of control systems for quantum sensors.
- Responsible for the design, implementation and testing of control and acquisition software and hardware needed to autonomously operate next generation quantum sensors.
- Responsible for managing outsourcing and production of electronic hardware designs.
Ideally you'll have:
- A PhD in Physics, Engineering or a closely related discipline.
- Experience in embedded system design for control, signal processing, and autonomous sensor operation.
- Embedded software development experience with embedded Linux or FreeRTOS.
- Understand the features and implementations of microprocessors, FPGAs, DACs, ADCs, and DDSs.
- Understand electronic circuits, schematics, and PCB layout.
- Proficient in C++, Python, and/or Verilog.
- Experience using networking protocols like TCP, UDP, IP, Ethernet, UART, SPI.
- Programming evaluation boards for rapid prototype development.
- Experience working in a research environment whilst collaborating with established engineering teams.
It would be fantastic if you have the below, however not essential:
- Practical experience working with navigation and guidance systems, including an understanding of IMUs and GNSS.
- Experience implementing real-time estimation algorithms, such as Kalman and/or particle filters, in real hardware, especially in the context of navigation.
- Experience in aeromagnetic signal processing, especially within the context of aeromagnetic compensation and/or magnetic de-noising more generally.
