Infleqtion
Software Engineer
Infleqtion is on a mission to commercialize atom-based quantum technologies that deliver orders-of-magnitude improvements in sensing and computing applications. As a deep-tech startup, we embrace a results-driven, fast-paced, and customer-focused approach to innovation.
We are seeking a software engineer with deep expertise in Rust and familiarity with embedded systems development to join our cross-functional engineering team. In this role, you'll work across the stack—from low-level embedded Rust and gateware integration to higher-level Rust application interfaces, with exposure to frontend technologies. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and application teams to build reliable, high-performance systems.
While a physics background is not required, experience working with physical systems or scientific instrumentation is beneficial. The ideal candidate is fundamentally a software engineer, with strong embedded systems intuition and a commitment to continually deepening their technical expertise.
Job Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams—including hardware engineers, physicists, and software developers—to deliver fully integrated product solutions.
- Maintain documentation of designs, workflows, and processes in compliance with internal and regulatory standards.
- Contribute to integrating Rust-based middleware and driver software used for device control.
- Collaborate with hardware and FPGA teams to develop software drivers and interfaces for embedded devices.
- Develop and maintain system-level APIs and communication layers
- Contribute to frontend development where needed to support tooling, visualization, or user interfaces
- Write clean, well-tested, and well-documented code
- Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions
