About the Job

Requirements

A Master of Science or PhD in Computer Science, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
At least 3 years of experience leading a software engineering team.
Broad C++ experience in a professional environment.
Familiarity with networking protocols and interfacing with firmware or specialized hardware.

Responsibilities

Lead the high-performance data path team, driving CPU/GPU integration for next-generation quantum computing instruments.
Drive all aspects of people development in close collaboration with the HR team.
Engage in architecture decisions for backend and server 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, and the Engineering Productivity team.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with CUDA, Python, or Rust.
Exposure to RDMA/RoCE, high-performance computing, or low-latency systems.
Background in controlling lab equipment.

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.

While real-time data processing inside the instruments has been key traditionally, the tight, low-latency integration with an environment of CPUs and GPUs gains great importance now. With the Data Transfer team, you lead a small group of proven experts accelerating this transition. You will directly report to our VP R&D.

Zurich Instruments is part of the Rohde & Schwarz Group.

Your responsibilities

Lead our high-performance data path team, driving CPU/GPU integration for next-gen quantum computing instruments.
Drive all aspects of people development in close collaboration with our HR team.
Engage in architecture decisions for backend- and server-SW.
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. We thrive on cooperation and support distributed decision-making that allows everyone to take responsibility and generate substantial impact from the start and on many levels.

Now is a great time to join the team.

We look forward to receiving your resume and motivation letter.

About the Company

Zurich Instruments

Quantum instrumentation for control and measurement

Zurich Instruments makes high-end measurement instruments for quantum computing and periodic signal analysis, including lock-in amplifiers, arbitrary waveform generators, impedance analyzers, phase-locked loops, digitizers, and boxcar averagers. These devices generate precise electrical signals and measure responses to extract useful information from noisy data, for example using lock-in amplification to isolate a signal at a known frequency. The company differentiates itself through its focus on precision instrumentation for complex experiments, global direct support, and a specialty in quantum computing and timing-sensitive measurements as part of the Rohde & Schwarz family. Its goal is to provide scientists and technologists with reliable hardware and support to measure and analyze complex phenomena in quantum systems and periodic signals, advancing research and development in these fields.
