System Test Engineer

Requirements

• We’re creating something truly unique, complex and large-scale, so being comfortable with engineering to evolving specs is key
• As such, you will be happy and excited to get hands‑on quickly in areas outside your own expertise
• You will also thrive in a collaborative environment, work well with different people and be team-oriented
• Prior quantum computing knowledge is not necessary – you will learn this along the way!
• Proven experience as a System Test Engineer
• Expertise with Python3, with a good understanding of pytest
• Experience in developing and maintaining continuous integration flows
• Understanding of scripting for networking: connecting remotely to a Linux machine; sending and retrieving data; extracting logs
• Familiarity with Linux
• Familiarity with hardware development or testing for FPGAs, ASICs, or embedded microcontrollers
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
• Curiosity to learn about new technologies, including quantum computing and quantum error correction
• Experience with standard development practises, such as source control (e.g. git), continuous integration and unit testing
• Ability to work collaboratively, with a diverse range of people
• (Desirable) Experience of setting up and maintaining test rigs
• (Desirable) Familiarity with linear algebra and statistics
• (Desirable) Familiarity with dashboards creation (for test reporting)
• Women and other underrepresented groups may be less likely to apply for a role unless they meet all or nearly all of the requirements. If this applies to you, we still encourage you to apply – you may be a great fit, even if you don’t meet every single qualification. We’ll love to hear from you

What the job involves

• At Riverlane, we build new and advanced solutions to solve one of the hardest problems in quantum computing: quantum error correction (QEC). Our cutting‑edge solutions must work seamlessly with varying customer requirements, in different environments and for multiple types of quantum computers
• To ensure that we can achieve this effectively, we rigorously test our innovative software and hardware solutions and measure performance, identifying any integration issues early on
• This is a fantastic opportunity for a proven System Test Engineer to support the critical testing of Riverlane’s groundbreaking products
• You will work alongside engineering teams throughout the entire feature development process of our products. You’ll identify test requirements for new features and design novel tests to ensure that the quality of our product remains high as these features are integrated
• You will develop a deep systems level understanding of our products, which you’ll bring to the fore when working with other engineers to identify the underlying causes of test failures
• In addition to developing novel tests, you’ll ensure that existing nightly tests remain reliable, diagnosing any regressions
• You’ll also identify opportunities to implement new ways of working to improve the quality of our system test infrastructure and accelerate the quality assurance cycle
