We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our Runtime Software team at Oxford Ionics / IonQ. In this role, you will be responsible for working directly with the experimental scientists to implement the real-time control system behaviours and provide abstractions they require for their experiments, contributing to the team s mission of enabling our science teams to experiment and improve the primitive operations which allow compute, and building towards fault tolerant computation. You ll play an important part in shaping the core, Rust, libraries and the execution environment which take our system from a collection of hardware to a quantum computer, and support our work in building the world s most advanced quantum systems. Responsibilities: In this position, you will work on developing abstractions over real-time control hardware, supporting the effective delivery of a control system capable of repeatedly and reproducibly driving our ions with nano-second level precision, with abstractions which are conducive to both fast iteration and system scaling. You ll have the opportunity to accelerate the science core to the development of our systems, and contribute to the core execution model of our quantum computers, contributing directly to the success of building utility-scale quantum computers. Key responsibilities include: Collaborating with scientists to understand their requirements. Interfacing with system orchestration, non-realtime control and compiler teams ..... full job details .....
