 Experience developing embedded software or firmware, working with microcontrollers, and integrating software with sensors, actuators, measurement equipment, or other physical systems.
 Experience writing equipment drivers and working with hardware communication protocols.
 Ability to gather requirements from technical stakeholders and translate them into clear tasks, deliverables, and release priorities.
 Experience managing shared codebases and applying good development practices, including Git workflows, code reviews, testing, and documentation.
 Strong communication, organizational, and planning skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across a wide range of technical disciplines.
 A proactive approach to improving software quality, processes, and maintainability.
 No previous experience in or knowledge of quantum physics is required.

Supplementary skills:

 Experience with embedded Linux, real-time operating systems, bare-metal development, or communication protocols such as UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, Ethernet, or USB.
 Experience debugging embedded hardware and software using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or hardware debuggers.
 Experience leading software projects, improving development processes, or implementing automated testing and continuous integration.
 A background in mechatronics, telecommunications, robotics, industrial automation, instrumentation, or a related field.

Our Ideal Candidate:

You are comfortable with writing stable, well-organized codes for solving complex problems. To add, you are self-motivated and independent in your projects and have a strong sense of responsibility and excited to work with those using their code for a variety of applications in science and engineering.
