Will involve sitting, standing, walking, lifting, and carrying up to 10 kg. ## Description As part of our UK growth strategy, we are expanding our Engineering Team and recruiting an Embedded Systems Engineer to support our Quantum RF (QRF) and sensing projects. In this role, you will develop the embedded control, acquisition, timing, and communications systems that underpin quantum-enabled RF sensors and deployable sensing products. You will work closely with physicists, electronics, FPGA, systems, and software engineers to take designs from requirements through implementation, characterisation, integration, and deployment., Technical * Develop embedded Linux software, firmware, and board-support packages for FPGA-based embedded systems, particularly Xilinx FPGA SoC platforms, using C/C++, Rust, and related tools. * Develop and deploy embedded Linux distributions using Yocto, Buildroot, or similar tools. * Develop device-tree configurations, low-level drivers and hardware interfaces for FPGA peripherals, sensors, communications devices, and microcontroller subsystems. * Integrate FPGA SoC platforms, microcontrollers, electronics, and higher-level software into robust control, acquisition, timing, signal-processing, and communications systems. * Perform board bring-up, hardware-firmware integration, automated test, debugging, and validation using Python and benchtop test equipment. * Produce reliable, maintainable software and clear technical documentation, supporting products from prototype through deployment and maintenance. Personal and Team Responsibilities * Collaborate effectively with team members to ensure technical objectives and deadlines are met. * Work within multidisciplinary teams of software engineers, electronics engineers, physicists and technicians. * Communicate technical risks, findings and design decisions clearly. * Adapt to changing requirements and manage technical ambiguity effectively. * Take ownership of assigned work from requirements definition through implementation, testing and delivery., Regardless of your interest in the quantum industry, you can take pride in the fact that Infleqtion is building an ecosystem of quantum technologies and commercial products, driving the industry towards the future. Studies reveal that while men apply for jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the requirements, women and other groups tend to apply only when they meet all the criteria. If you believe you have the potential but don't meet every single point in our job advertisement, please don't hesitate to contact us! We would love to chat with you and see how you could bring great value to our team. Our goal is to find exceptional individuals who can enrich our team culture, actively contribute, and have a genuine passion for their work. Here you have freedom to embrace your whole self: who you love, your gender identity and expression, skin colour, age, appearance, disability, neurodiversity, DNA, military/veteran status, citizenship, and other factors that make up who you are. Your uniqueness is valued, welcomed, and appreciated here. We are dedicated to providing a positive workplace and base all employment decisions on your qualifications, performance, merits, as well as business needs.
