Embedded Software Engineer - Systems Team

Cambridge, UK | Full-time or Part-time | Permanent (or Temporary) | Hybrid

Salary: £80,000 - £100,000 DOE

The salary range for this role is broad, as we are able to consider varying levels of experience. Any offer made will carefully take into account level of experience (including relevant industry experience), transferable relevant skills and previous relevant achievements.

Riverlane’s mission is to master quantum error correction (QEC) and unlock a new age of human progress. From advances in material and climate science, to complex chemistry simulation for new drug design, quantum computers will help humanity solve some of its most important challenges. But without QEC, the industry’s defining technical challenge, such breakthroughs can never be achieved. Riverlane is the world leader in QEC technology. QEC is a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion.

Having raised more than $125M in funding to date to accelerate our cutting-edge R&D in quantum error correction (QEC), Riverlane partners with many of the world’s leading quantum hardware providers and government agencies to make fault-tolerant quantum computing a reality. We’re making remarkable progress and growing fast.

The Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer bridges the gap between Riverlane and its customers. They act as the primary technical interface for customer’s engineers and guide them through product integration and help with trouble shooting complex quantum systems.

As an Embedded Software Engineer on the Systems Team, you will configure our Deltaflow Hardware to connect to the Quantum Computer allowing it to provide a low-latency, high throughput system that performs complex operations in a predictable and guaranteed way. You will develop our software stack to work with customers quantum computers. You will ensure our customers can run quantum experiments, implement Riverlane’s quantum errors correction algorithm and debug any issues that arise.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a team that is developing the world’s most advanced quantum error correcting algorithms and QEC Hardware. The Riverlane team is a mix of mathematicians, physicists and engineers, working together on a range of exciting and cutting-edge QEC projects.

-Host Technical Workshops on Riverlane’s QEC Stack and DeltaKit.

-Evaluate Customers Software and data communication systems.

-Integrate our Software Stack into Customer’s Quantum Computer Systems.
