About Vector Atomic
Vector Atomic is a cutting-edge technology company specializing in the development of quantum devices for various applications.
Our mission is to leverage the incredible properties of quantum systems to create innovative solutions that address real-world challenges.
From GPS-free navigation and geophysical exploration to telecommunications, our goal is to revolutionize industries with our quantum technology.
We are seeking strong individual contributors that take ownership of their work while supporting overall team goals.
Our rapidly growing team of 55 plus brings an innovative but practical approach to developing quantum devices.
If you'd like to work on transformational technologies in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, come join our team!
What You'll Do Work with a cross-functional team of physicists, electronics engineers, and firmware engineers to create next-generation quantum instruments. Code and verify embedded system for ST microcontrollers.
This will include COTS microcontrollers, but also MCUs on custom ASICs.
Implement control algorithms essential to operation of precision sensing instruments.
Working from electronic schematics, they will code drivers for peripherals including mixed-signal devices. Collaborate with hardware engineers and assist with board testing and hardware bring up.
Contribute to continuous improvement of our development process by writing task tickets (GitHub). Describe your work in code reviews, project reviews and retrospectives.
Requirements What We're Looking For Electrical Engineering/Computer Engineering/Computer Science Graduate, BS/MS Degree with substantial course/lab/intern working in embedded system.
Other technical degrees will be considered, with 5+ years of directly relevant training/experience. US export control laws require "U.S. persons" including U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful permanent residents, and certain categories of refugees, and asylees. Must be comfortable working in a laboratory environment. Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal. Required expertise: Write production quality code for small-embedded processors in C/C++.
Comfortable using test and measurement equipment to confirm coding performance.
This includes oscilloscopes, function generators and voltmeters. Develop scripts for languages such as Python, Perl, etc.
Write interrupts, drivers and multi-threaded code for embedded MCUs (RTOSs and/or BareMetal). Interfacing with external devices through TCP, UDP, UART, SPI, I2C, etc.
Design training/expertise with fixed-point algorithms such as digital filters. Able to isolate and fix bugs using debuggers and simulation. Nice-to-have expertise: Design and coding of control algorithms such as PID.
Experience coding with assembly language. Ethernet stacks on small embedded systems such as lwIP. Background working with SoC/FPGA devices. Benefits
Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance.
We are an employee-owned company with competitive compensation and benefits including: Platinum-level family health coverage (medical, dental, vision) Health and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Employer 401(k) contributions 20 days of paid time off / 10 paid holidays Paid parental leave Stock ownership plan Fully stocked kitchen Pay Range
We provide market-competitive compensation packages, inclusive of base pay, performance bonus, benefits, and equity.
The pay range for this position is $125,000 to $150,000 including annual bonus.
It's atypical to be hired at the top end of this range directly out of college, as actual pay is based on several factors, including job-related knowledge, skills, and experience level.
