Software Engineer (C++/Python) – Quantum Sensing Integration

Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Software Engineer to develop a robust C++ and Python software stack for our cutting-edge quantum sensing systems. In this role, you will be integrating advanced hardware components (e.g., microwave generators, waveform generators, translation stages, hexapods, and more) into a cohesive software environment. You will also have the opportunity to build APIs from scratch and connect them to a GUI (preferably built on Qt). A significant part of your impact will come from sharing your expertise, collaborating within a cross-functional team, and bringing a forward-looking approach to continuous improvement.

What is expected of you

• 3+ years of industry experience (outside academia) in software development with a high degree of proficiency in C++ and Python.

• Background in robot operating systems (ROS) and/or physics is advantageous.

• Experience with Qt is a significant plus.

• Familiarity with Scrum or other Agile methodologies is highly beneficial.

• Proven ability to work independently while documenting solutions thoroughly.

• Strong communication skills: comfortable sharing ideas, explaining technical concepts, and collaborating with team members who have diverse skill sets.

Our benefits

• Company ownership
• An office in the cool Werksviertel Munich neighbourhood
• Sport membership
• Relocation package including accommodation for the first few months
• Mobile phone and laptop
• Flexible hours
