Senior Automation Test Engineer

We believe quantum computing will change everything. It will have the power to transform the foundations of giant industries that rely on intensive computation. PsiQuantum is on a mission to build the world's first useful quantum computer, capable of delivering these transformative results.We know that means it will need 1 million qubits, error correction, a scalable architecture and a data center footprint.

By harnessing the laws of quantum physics, quantum computers can provide exponential performance increases over today's most powerful supercomputers, offering the potential for extraordinary advances across a broad range of industries including climate, energy, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, finance, agriculture, transportation, materials design, and many more.

PsiQuantum is uniquely positioned to deliver on the promise of quantum computing years earlier than our competitors. Our architecture is based on photonics which gives us the ability to produce our components using existing high-volume semiconductor manufacturing processes, the same processes that are today producing billions of chips for telecom and consumer electronics applications. Since photons don't feel heat, we can take advantage of existing cryogenic cooling systems, the kind that have been operating at facilities like the Stanford Linear Accelerator (SLAC). And because photons are in fact light, they can move between subsystems at tremendous speed using standard fiber connectivity.

Our team is building a utility scale quantum computer and the software tools needed to build fault tolerant quantum applications. We're a highly motivated and collaborative group focused on a singular goal - building the world's first useful quantum computer on the fastest path possible.

There's much more work to be done and we are looking for exceptional talent to join us on this extraordinary journey!

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and FPGA engineers to define and document testing requirements for evaluation boards and system boards.
• Define, document, and implement automated test scripts for validation testing of hardware and regression testing of new firmware and FPGA releases in a continuous integration pipeline.
• Define hardware-in-loop tests to stress test the system for performance and reliability.
• Create specialized tools that enable integration testing, validating that the system functions correctly under a range operational conditions.
• Develop the necessary GUIs and databases needed for the test software.
• Maintain and support the test software.
• Write documentation for the test software: requirements, specifications and manuals

Experience/Qualifications:

• B.S. Degree in software engineering, electrical engineers, computer science, or related field. MS preferred.
• 7+ years of industry experience.
• Able to take a testplan and architecture and design and release the test software.
• Experience with Python, GUIs and databases.
• Experience with working directly with hardware.
• Experience of other programming languages (C++, C#) is a plus.
• Experience in creating documentation needed to support the design and use of test software.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across functional areas (FW, digital design, IC design).
• Excellent communication skills.
