Hiring: Application Engineer, Quantum Sensing Company: Quantum Computing Inc. Location: Hoboken, NJ Job Posted Time: 2026-09-11 11:32:15 Employment Type: Remote Target Skills & Keywords : AI, Assembly, Bash, Python, Shell, Systems Engineering About the job Experience: •5–8+ years of hands-on experience deploying, integrating, or supporting sensing, optical, or instrumentation hardware and software systems in customer environments. •Practical experience with optical or photonic sensing techniques (interferometry, laser-based sensing, fiber-optic sensing, or similar), including alignment, calibration, and noise/sensitivity characterization. •Solid functional working knowledge of signal processing fundamentals — sampling, filtering, spectral analysis (FFT), and noise characterization — as applied to vibration, acoustic, or other physical sensing signals. •Solid functional working knowledge of analog and digital RF/signal-chain fundamentals, including cabling and connectors, impedance and attenuation, timing and synchronization, and use of standard test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators). •Shell scripting proficiency (bash or equivalent) for automation, diagnostics, and deployment; Python or comparable scripting experience (e.g., for data analysis/DSP) is a plus. Required Skills: •Install, align, and commission QCi quantum sensing hardware (e.g., the Vibrometer) at customer sites, including optical/mechanical mounting, power and cabling, network provisioning, and initial system bring-up. •Align optical sensing heads, tune interferometric or photonic sensing paths, and calibrate systems against known references to verify sensitivity, bandwidth, and noise floor meet specification. •Set up, calibrate, and validate analog and digital signal chains (photodetector front-ends, amplifiers, filters, RF/IF stages), using oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power meters to confirm performance against specification. •Write and maintain scripts that streamline installation, configuration, data logging, diagnostics, and ongoing sensor health monitoring. •Execute on-site and remote acceptance testing of sensing performance (e.g., minimum detectable signal, frequency response, drift), document results, resolve deficiencies, and secure customer sign-off on delivered systems. •Application Development and Demonstration •Design, construct, and characterize sensing testbeds and system-level demonstrations (structural health monitoring, seismic/acoustic detection, vibration analysis, and related use cases) that mirror real-world customer environments. Qualifications: •Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Optics/Photonics, Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline; equivalent military or industry field engineering experience will be considered. Compensation: •$125,000 - $176,000 / year •Flexible work environment (work from home / hybrid options) Interested candidates, please apply directly through the job posting on company's career page or try via AI auto apply on this platform.
