As a Development Engineer of Control Software, you will join the team in charge of developing the software that controls PASQAL Processing Units (QPUs).
Running on main classical CPUs, this operating system interfaces a set of hardware devices connected in a local network architecture. At low level, the operating system manages the generation and the monitoring of numerous Iamp;O electronic signals in real-time; dedicated electronic modules are developed in collaboration with the team of electronics engineers. At high level, it manages complex automation tasks combining execution of external job requests and self-recalibration of various internal parameters. The operating system is the main entry point to the Quantum Processors, both for PASQAL engineers and for external users. It also enables PASQAL teams to integrate, to operate and to maintain the QPUs.
Your key missions will include:
- Designing and implementing software components, such as devices drivers and modules of the hardware abstraction layer.
