About The Role

Embedded DevOps Engineer

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world's most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables 'quantum everywhere' through our ecosystem of devices and platforms.

This is a full-time position split between our Kidlington, Oxford office and the National Quantum Computing Centre, Harwell. Work from home permitted up to 2 days per week based on business needs and manager approval. Candidate will need to be able to travel independently to these locations, as required.

As part of our strategy for growth at Infleqtion UK, we are expanding our engineering team and recruiting an Embedded DevOps engineer.

For this role, you will bring a mix of technical skills, problem-solving ability and effective communication, playing a pivotal role in development velocity and reliability for our quantum research, sensor development and productionisation of cutting-edge systems.

This role involves a combination of development and maintenance of robust testing and deployment processes including hardware-in-the-loop testing and build pipelines for integrated software, firmware and gateware. The role will be instrumental in defining our version control, auditing and engineering procedures around delivering production software for deployed systems. Additionally, the role will involve some maintenance of physical on-site hardware, network management, server administration to support our in-house research labs. The successful candidate will ideally possess a solid technical background in both systems engineering and software development.

Job Responsibilities

• Manage containers and orchestrate CI/CD pipelines for efficient software deployment, robust testing and traceable updates.
• Support both the hardware and software teams by managing configurations of multiple networked systems being used for development, testing & commissioning.
• Design, develop, and maintain IaC solutions and implement CI/CD pipelines to automate deployment processes.
• Define and own software security procedures that govern secure code development and deployment for software, firmware and gateware.
• Own lab system management and coordinate response to efficiently maintain high up-times. Plan and implement system backup policies to ensure swift recovery.
• Collaborate with both software developers and hardware engineers in a lab environment, documenting processes and system configurations for ongoing projects.
