Control Systems Engineer Intern Jobs in Louisville, KY

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms.

Infleqtion is seeking a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer to support the development and integration of advanced Quantum RF (QRF) sensing systems.

This role focuses on designing and implementing thegateware, software, and hardware to enable opto-electrical control systems for our quantum sensing solutions. In this role, you will work closely with a cross-functional team of software engineers, opto-mechanical engineers, and physicists to develop unique control algorithms and complex data processing tools. You will be part of a purpose-built team to bring quantum systems from lab environments to field demonstrations.

The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role.

• Design, develop, andmaintainembedded software andgatewarefor control of QRF systems and subsystems
• Key contributor towards developing control system architectures for future quantum sensors
• Subsystem integration into quantum systems, including verification, validation, and debugging
• Deploy high test coverage and fullyleverageour CI pipelines and hardware test beds to have confidence that your designs will work as expected
• Develop programmable logic and low-level CPU interfaces to control integrated systems and peripherals including quantum sensors, magnetic field controllers, and lasers

• Create test scripts tovalidatesubsystems and components of integrated systems
• Support board bring-up and debugging efforts, providing feedback to design teams.
• Work closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and physics teams to ensure successful system integration and deliver high-performance real time embedded systems
