As a senior software engineer on the Quantum Instrumentation team, you will design, develop, and maintain critical C++ services that operate quantum readout instruments, ensuring high performance and reliability. Your day-to-day responsibilities include building near-real-time data pipelines from FPGA/SoC hardware to client software, implementing interfaces for hardware-software integration, and developing networked multi-client services with versioned binary protocols. You will also engineer systems for structured logging and telemetry, enabling efficient testing through simulation and mock modes while collaborating closely with experimentalists, control engineers, and FPGA teams. The role requires expertise in C++17 or later, Linux userspace software development, memory-mapped I/O, DMA, TCP/IP, and experience with embedded Linux on ARM platforms like Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+. Familiarity with quantum computing instrumentation is beneficial.
