Your Role And Responsibilities
IBM Quantum is seeking candidates for an entry level Hardware Engineer position at the T.J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY. The role will focus on advancing IBM Quantum systems through the fabrication, characterization, and overall development of the chips used to build quantum computers. The ideal candidate would have strong problem-solving skills, the ability to work well in an interdisciplinary team, and a growth mindset. On a day to day basis, the role entails performing tasks (for example, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electrical characterization, data analysis, etc.) to support the more experienced engineers on the team execute experiments. No previous experience in quantum device fabrication is required.
Required Technical And Professional Expertise
- Ability to independently troubleshoot and solve complex problems.
- Ability to communicate and work with an interdisciplinary team of electrical engineers, fabrication engineers, and experimental physicists.
- Strong growth mindset
-
Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (materials science, electrical engineering, chemistry, physics, applied physics, etc.)
- Experience with materials characterization techniques (for example, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, etc.)
Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
