Associate Engineer - Firmware

Location: This role is based onsite at our office in Pleasanton, CA.

Travel: Up to 5%, domestic or international.

The Role:

We're looking for exceptional early-career engineers to grow with us. As an Associate Firmware Engineer, you'll work alongside world-class physicists and hardware engineers to build embedded software for next-generation quantum sensing instruments. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your code directly enables precision measurement at the frontier of quantum technology.

If you've just completed a degree from a top engineering program and want to do work that matters, not CRUD apps, but real-time control systems running inside instruments that measure the universe, this is your role.

Responsibilities:

• Write and verify embedded firmware for ST microcontrollers, including COTS devices and MCUs integrated into custom ASICs
• Implement control algorithms critical to the operation of high-precision quantum sensing instruments
• Develop peripheral drivers for mixed-signal devices, working directly from electronic schematics
• Partner with hardware engineers on board testing and bring-up activities
• Contribute to a rigorous engineering culture through code reviews, GitHub task tickets, and retrospectives
• Clearly document and communicate your work in a highly collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment
