This is a Software Engineer role with one of the leading companies in AU right now Q-CTRL with an amazing team. They are continuing to grow rapidly. This is the chance to join right as the takes off. More About the Role at Q-CTRL About the role We are seeking a Software Engineer to develop applications on our Linux control platform for our quantum accelerometers and magnetometers in order to optimize sensor performance online, execute navigation and map-matching algorithms, efficiently log and process operational data, interface with Q-CTRL’s cloud services, and generally assist with scientific exploration in the field of quantum sensing. You’ll work closely with research scientists who are developing sensing and navigation algorithms to produce robust and computationally efficient implementations suitable for deployment on mobile platforms (e.g. ships, planes, drones) operating in real-world environments. As the maturity of our quantum sensing technology increases you’ll drive a culture of software development best practices, testing, and release management to ensure Q-CTRL’s quantum sensing teams are delivering the highest quality software possible. You will join a growing team focused on quantum sensing for defence and aerospace, and work with experts in fields such as cold-atom interferometry, magnetometry, and inertial navigation to develop state-of-the-art technology. What you'll be doing: - Own the development, integration, and support of software applications employed in Q-CTRL’s quantum sensors and auxiliary hardware. - Be responsible for the design, implementation, and testing of software applications used in the optimization of next generation quantum sensing, navigation, and map-matching technology. - Integrate our quantum sensing solutions with Q-CTRL’s cloud services. - Liaise with scientists to develop solutions to issues that arise during research and development in the lab. - Work on critical quantum sensing field trials with key industry partners. - Own and improve continuous integration systems and software testing infrastructure. Ideally you'll have: - Experience working in a research environment whilst collaborating with established engineering teams and research scientists. - Experience in writing numerical software or algorithm development, with an emphasis on inertial navigation, state estimation, data fusion, or optimization. - Proficiency with a systems programming language such as C, C++, or Rust. - Proficiency in using Python tools and packages for data processing. - Experience setting up and maintaining continuous integration systems. - Demonstrated leadership in driving software development best practices in engineering teams.
