Develop and maintain embedded firmware for quantum energy storage control and safety electronics. Implement real-time control loops, safety interlocks, data acquisition, sensor integration, actuation, and board bring-up. Collaborate with electrical engineers and scientists on hardware-software integration and experimental instrumentation. Troubleshoot and perform root-cause analysis of hardware-software issues in an onsite startup environment.

Designs and builds power electronics, charging and discharging circuits, battery management systems, sensing instrumentation, and thermal-management solutions for quantum energy storage hardware. The role involves hands-on prototyping, high-voltage and high-current circuit design, lab testing, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and collaboration with materials, cell, embedded, and physics teams.

Build and secure an on-premises AI platform on owned hardware, including local model serving, database-backed search and provenance, and sandboxed execution for AI-generated code. Implement default-deny networking, untrusted-code isolation, auditable infrastructure, data classification, and trust-boundary controls. This founding generalist role requires deep backend and systems engineering experience, bare-metal expertise, and the ability to establish secure foundations before scaling the team.
