Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

The role involves designing high-performance control systems for quantum computing, focusing on embedded software, real-time systems, and hardware orchestration. Responsibilities include building firmware for SDRs, optimizing software for quantum hardware, and collaborating across disciplines.

Lead architecture, design, prototyping, validation, and deployment of custom high-speed mixed-signal electronics for quantum-computer control systems. Design analog and RF front ends, multi-gigabit FPGA-to-converter interfaces, clocking and power systems, and Altium PCB assemblies. Conduct simulation, signal-integrity analysis, board bring-up, testing, and characterization. Collaborate with physicists and software teams, manage manufacturers and suppliers, drive design-for-manufacturing strategies, and mentor hardware engineers.

Develops scalable optical devices for neutral-atom quantum computers through theoretical modeling, prototyping, experimental validation, and hardware integration. Collaborates with physicists and engineers, analyzes experimental results, and guides optical hardware design. Requires a Ph.D. focused on experimental optics, advanced expertise in optical physics, and experience designing and characterizing complex optical setups. Postdoctoral or industry experience and Python/Git proficiency are preferred.

Design and build deterministic, low-latency control systems for quantum hardware. Develop embedded firmware, device drivers, kernel modules, and orchestration for GPUs/FPGAs. Prototype in Rust, Python, C/C++, and CUDA, and collaborate with theory, hardware, and software teams to deliver production-ready, high-throughput control pipelines.

Lead design, build, alignment, and characterization of opto-mechanical subsystems for quantum computers. Define system architecture, perform tolerance and stray-light analysis, develop alignment procedures, and drive hands-on assembly and precision alignment with cross-functional teams.

Design, analyze, and build opto-mechanical subsystems for quantum computing, including laser distribution, high-NA imaging, and optical cavities. Perform tolerance and stray-light analysis, develop alignment procedures, assemble and align optics in the lab, characterize subsystem performance, and collaborate with mechanical engineers and physicists.

Own design and development of a DSP ASIC block from requirements through silicon bring-up. Perform microarchitecture, RTL development, testing, and system integration. Collaborate with quantum physicists, optics, hardware, and software teams. Contribute to and influence FPGA designs to prepare for ASIC implementation.

Lead technical direction and architecture for the orchestration software that coordinates quantum computing workloads. Rewrite research prototypes into production services, mentor engineers, deploy and monitor production systems, improve CI/CD, collaborate with hardware and quantum teams, and represent engineering externally.

Design, build, and operate backend services that orchestrate quantum computing workloads, manage experimental data, productionize research prototypes, automate calibration/tuning, schedule and analyze algorithm execution, drive architecture decisions, support production deployment and monitoring, and improve CI/CD pipelines while collaborating with quantum engineers and participating in on-call support.

Lead systems engineering for Atom's quantum computers: define requirements and architectures, manage interfaces, track risks and verification, coordinate integration and IV&V, and communicate status across research and product teams.
