Embedded Software Engineer - Innovation Transfer
At OQC, we aren’t just theorising about the future; we’re building it. Born from a philosophy of bold innovation, we’ve successfully transitioned quantum computing from an academic dream into a commercial reality. The most exciting thing is that we’re just getting started and we’ve recently closed our £260 million Series C funding round – the largest fundraise ever completed by a quantum computing company in Europe.
The Purpose
Join the team building the software interfaces that connect custom control hardware to scalable quantum computers. You’ll develop low-latency, production-grade embedded software that enables reliable access to—and precise control of—superconducting quantum processors.
The Role
As an Embedded Software Engineer within Innovation Transfer, you’ll turn experimental concepts and scientific requirements into robust embedded software for OQC’s quantum computing platform. Working across embedded software, FPGA, compiler and quantum engineering teams, you’ll help move new capabilities from prototype to production while improving the performance, reliability and scalability of the full technology stack.
What You'll Be Working On
- Develop high-performance device drivers in modern C/C++, with Python bindings for higher-level testing and system interfaces.
- Build automated test protocols for quantum hardware drivers and embedded software, covering functional, security, timing, latency and performan
