# Software Engineer - Control Systems at Logiqal

- **Company:** Logiqal
- **Location:** Princeton, NJ
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-20
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-05
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/logiqal/b4a0ea91-2939-4614-8499-cab2e790989b

## Job description

## ABOUT THE COMPANY

Logiqal is on a mission to build the first scaled quantum computer, deploying millions of qubits to tackle the world’s most important problems. Our thesis is that you have to build a full scale machine to learn what the actual hard parts are, just like you have to build a full scale rocket before the first launch. We’re looking for a few visionary scientists and engineers to join our team, to move fast and blow stuff up.

Based in Princeton, NJ our founding physics team has decades of combined research experience at leading academic and industry labs including Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Google Quantum. Our approach is based on neutral atom qubit technology developed in research labs at Princeton by the founding team. Our scalable systems are composed of manufacturable sub-modules, controlled by state-of-the-art CMOS optoelectronics, and designed around a unique computer architecture.

If you’re excited to build something that’s never existed before at the cutting edge of physics and engineering—together with an awesome team with deep technical expertise—come build with us!

## ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Software Engineer on the controls side, you will develop and own components that enable nanosecond-level timing of laser modulation signals, precision acquisition from high-speed cameras, and complex system-of-systems monitoring and diagnostics. We are looking for candidates who can work across the software/hardware boundary with strong backgrounds in hardware-in-the-loop testing, data pipelines for calibration and operations, and distributed infrastructure monitoring and control. You will collaborate with atomic physicists and other controls engineers to establish and monitor performance benchmarks that ensure our controls stack sustains robust, distributed quantum computations.

This position requires hands-on instrumentation work and strong software fundamentals. It benefits from experience integrating technologies such as high-speed cameras, RF signal generators, GPUs, and Linux kernel customizations. A physics background is a plus but not essential — we find that engineers from adjacent fields bring valuable perspective. No knowledge of quantum computing is not required, though we're happy to teach you.

__________

Compensation consists of a base salary and equity. The salary range for this role is $150-235k, commensurate with experience. We also provide comprehensive benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and highly subsidized benefits for spouses and dependents, a 401k and FSA.

- **Strong Investor Backing**: $24M Seed round from a syndicate including Auxin Capital, Princeton University, DCVC, Inspired Capital, and Lachy Groom indicates high confidence.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Building the first scaled quantum computer by scaling up their modular, neutral atom architecture.
- **Direction for growth**: Moving from research and development to a full-stack machine, focusing on learning "what the actual hard parts are" by building complete systems.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: The company states they are "single-mindedly focused" and want scientists and engineers who "want to move fast and blow things up," suggesting a fast-paced, high-autonomy, research-driven environment.
- **Remote/hybrid/office policy**: In-Office — all open roles are based at the Princeton, NJ headquarters.
- **Notable perks or engineering culture**: 
  - Opportunity to work on cutting-edge quantum computing hardware from the ground up
  - Roles span software engineering, hardware control interfaces, data acquisition, atomic physics, and systems architecture
  - Small team (6 employees as of PitchBook data), offering high impact and ownership
  - Strong publication culture, with team members contributing to top-tier journals
