Role details
Job description
Zurich Instruments is a technology leader in advanced test and measurement instruments and in control electronics for quantum computing (QC). Our products consist of a deep stack of electronics and control software.

- Build engineering capability, manage technical debt and optimize delivery processes.
- Own delivery of features.
- Align with stakeholders, including product management, cross-functional agile development teams, or our Engineering Productivity team.
Your profile
- MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 3+ years leading a software engineering team, with strong communication and organizational skills.
- Broad C++ experience in a professional environment.
- Familiarity with networking protocols, and interfacing with firmware or specialized hardware.
- Experience with CUDA, Python, or Rust (Nice-to-have)
- Exposure to RDMA/RoCE, high-performance computing, or low-latency systems (Nice-to-have).
- Background in controlling lab equipment (Nice-to-have).
We offer a diverse work environment with an open and transparent company culture where personal development forms the basis of our success.
