#QuantumSensing

Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world’s most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.

Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined with making it happen.

We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.

Who you are

You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology development. You may have come from a large corporation or be fresh out of university but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.

Your role

Working across a cross-functional team, you’ll be responsible for the software components of our quantum sensors. These things are being used in the field, and we are moving fast.

This role requires a broad skill set including numerical data processing, full-stack and even some embedded systems programming on Linux. You will be working with other developers towards the end-to-end development and deployment of our sensors and will be engaged in daily tasks like:

• owning and maintaining complex software applications running on our quantum sensor hardware. This includes control algorithms, a data processing pipeline and backend and frontend UI components using Python and related technologies.
• being part of a cross-functional team, including hardware engineers and atomic physicists to define requirements and specifications
• performing system-level testing and debugging to ensure reliability, performance, and security
• implementing key software engineering practices such as testing, documentation and version control.

Requirements

It’s not about specifically where you have come from nor what qualifications you have. What truly matters is that you are an impossibly fast learner. People with competitive applications could have skills and experience such as: 

• 5+ years experience with Python application development
• Linux software development experience, optimally on embedded systems
• familiarity with Python web frameworks and/or embedded UI design is preferred
• excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and in a cross-functional team
• a permit/visa to work in Germany

If you think you’re right for the role but don’t have some of these skills, reach out – we’d love to talk anyway. 

Benefits

The role is full-time and based in Berlin, Germany.

We have the flexibility to work from home from time to time, but in-person interaction with our team in Berlin will be essential.

We offer a competitive salary, employee share option package and opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
