At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing. Atom Computing is seeking a Senior Embedded Platform Engineer to enhance our software development workflows and maintain the critical infrastructure that powers our quantum computer. In this role, you'll focus on infrastructure engineering to support embedded systems. Our environment includes a wide variety of embedded computers, sensors and actuators, requiring innovative approaches to managing and scaling. Reporting to the Infrastructure Engineering Manager, you’ll collaborate with a talented, collegial team of engineers and physicists while making a lasting impact on the future of computing. Due to the mix of on-prem and cloud infrastructure, this role is required to be in the office in Boulder at least 3 days per week.
Design OTA update and configuration procedures for embedded systems.
Develop automated management processes for first- and third-party embedded devices, including RF subsystems, lasers and cameras.
Consult with security, design security primitives specific to on-prem hardware and embedded devices.
Build and optimize monitoring, alerting, and performance metrics systems to support both development and production environments.
Collaborate with engineering teams to streamline CI/CD pipelines and improve deployment efficiency.
BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent on-the-job experience.
5+ years of post-degree professional experience maintaining large scale distributed systems.
Familiarity with MicroTCA, VPX/OpenVPX, ATCA, CompactPCI Serial, PXIe, or other high-performance embedded systems form factors and interconnect standards.
Experience with on-premise hardware services, including virtualization and containerization management solutions such as Proxmox VE, Docker and Podman.
Experience with OTA update workflows, firmware deployment processes, and secure device update protocols.
Experience with Yocto linux or compiling linux distributions, kernel modules, device drivers, etc.
Solid knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions.
Ability to optimize and tune on-premise hardware for performance and low latency using tools such as perf, systemd-analyze, iostat, and tuning profiles.
Proficiency in designing and implementing metrics, monitoring, and alerting pipelines using Datadog, Grafana, or other observability tools.
Skilled in architecting infrastructure workflows with tools such as Terraform, Ansible, Helm, or Kubernetes.
