Quantum Software Engineer

Why Join Us?
At Keysight, you'll be part of a mission-driven team pushing the boundaries of quantum technology. You'll work in a collaborative environment where innovation, experimentation, and customer success are at the core of everything we do.

Overview:
Keysight Technologies' Quantum Engineering Solutions (QES) division is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Quantum Software Engineer to join our R&D team. QES delivers world-leading solutions in the dynamic and fast-evolving quantum computing space.

In this role, you'll work on cutting-edge quantum control software alongside a cross-disciplinary team of quantum physicists, software developers, and RF/uW measurement engineers. You'll help develop solutions that control complex instrumentation (AWGs, digitizers, network analyzers) to perform quantum measurements, while playing a key role in shaping the customer experience and advancing experimental quantum technologies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Consistently deliver high-quality software products, meeting commitments, and exceeding customer expectations.
• Collaborate closely with customers to address complex challenges in quantum computing through software solutions and system-level integration.
• Work in our quantum SDK and firmware teams to shape product direction through direct engagement with customer feedback and use of Keysight's quantum facilities.
• Design, implement, test, and maintain software components that support quantum control systems and instrumentation workflows.
• Contribute to internal and customer-driven research initiatives to stay at the forefront of experimental quantum computing.
• Write and maintain use case and system-level tests to ensure robust software performance.
• Engage with geographically distributed teams and contribute to a collaborative, high-performance engineering culture.

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • BS degree and 2+years of experience required; with MS/PhD, we will consider recent grads with appropriate academia, projects and/or post doc experience
• Proficient in one or more programming languages: C#, C++, Python.
• Experience debugging complex systems involving both hardware and software components.
• Familiarity with quantum computing platforms-particularly superconducting, spin, or NV center qubits-and quantum information/simulation applications.
• Operational experience with lab instrumentation (AWGs, digitizers, DC sources); PXI platform experience is a strong plus.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills to diagnose and resolve system integration issues.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a proactive, continuous-learning mindset.
• Highly organized, results-oriented, and comfortable operating in high-pressure, fast-paced environments.
