Software Integration Engineer - W - M - Pasqal H/F PASQAL

About Pasqal

PASQAL designs and develops Quantum Processing Units (QPUs) and associated software tools.
Our innovative technology enables us to address use cases that are currently beyond the reach of the most powerful supercomputers; these cases can concern industrial application challenges as well as fundamental science needs.
In addition to the exceptional computing power they provide, QPUs are highly energy efficient and will contribute to a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of the HPC industry.

Job description

The Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) is operated by our specific Control Software PasqOS (running on Linux). This role is part of the PasqOS team and involves working with researchers and physicists working on the Quantum Processing Units as well as other people from the Hardware department: which implies interacting with the maintenance team, operations team in charge of cloud services and scientists developing various other software components to be integrated. Of course, no need to be a Quantum Physics PhD, we already have a lot of them, and the cool thing is : they explain very well!

As Software engineer, your role will include:

- Implement new features, hardware drivers or software enhancements on PasqOS on various research QPUs.
- Deploy PasqOS on the Quantum Processing Units (QPU), including helping the research and deployment team for tuning and testing.
- Investigate potential problems with the QPU System and Software teams (the System team works on tuning and optimizing the QPU hardware, they need support and often new features from PasqOS team).
- Help the integration of PasqOS with other components of the Pasqal Software ecosystem (cloud services, Quantum libraries...).
- Suggest and implement tools to enhance the deployment and upgrades of the QPUs.
- Evaluate the performance of PasqOS and suggest improvements and optimizations.

About you

- You have a master's degree or an engineering degree with a specialization in computer science, over 3 years of experience in software development and integration interfacing with hardware equipment.
- Your professional background has provided you with experience throughout the entire software development lifecycle.
- You demonstrate a genuine interest, in new technologies and scientific challenges.
- You have a strong ability to work in autonomy and you can take responsibility for your projects while collaborating with the rest of the team

The required technical skills for this position include:

- Proficiency in Python software development as well as some native language (C, C++ or Rust)
- Strong experience with version control (Git) and CI tools (GitLab)
- Interfacing with low level drivers.
- Experience with Hardware drivers.
- Proficiency with Linux (configuration, network, usb devices).
- Database management (PostgreSQL).
- Rust experience (or will to learn it) is a real plus.
- Front-end tech (react) is a plus.
- Proficiency in English and French (oral and written). The teams speaks french.
