Job description

The mission of TU Delft's Quantum and Computer Engineering (QCE) department is to invent, design, prototype and demonstrate the potential of disruptive computing engines by harnessing unique features of emerging devices, e.g., qubits, memristors, spintronics, and graphene. Building such computing engines requires a full-stack interdisciplinary approach, encompassing fabrication and operation of qubits, electronic circuit design, micro-architecture, programming models, compilers and simulation platforms. As a Software Engineer, you will work within a world-leading team of scientists with strong chip testing expertise, a team of PhD students and other software engineers. Your main responsibilities and activities include the software architecture, development, implementation, testing and management of a software toolchain for Device-Aware Testing (DAT). You will work closely with the technical and product management to select and define the tools, the software and channels for customer support. You will setup a structured development and testing environment and coach the other software engineers in the best practices of modern Software Engineering. You will define, manage and execute complex project tasks, and report the results to the technical management.

Job requirements

• You have an PhD degree in Computer Science, Computing, Computer Engineering or equivalent and with emphasis on design tools and methodologies.
• You are familiar with computer system architectures, hardware and software test and integration.
• You have demonstrable industrial experience involving the design, unit test and documentation of complex software products.
• You are a well-organised, tenacious and orderly team player.
• You are proficient in written and oral communication in English. Conditions of employment

Challenge. Change. Impact!

Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science

The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science (EEMCS) brings together three scientific disciplines. Combined, they reinforce each other and are the driving force behind the technology we all use in our daily lives. Technology such as the electricity grid, which our faculty is helping to make completely sustainable and future-proof. At the same time, we are developing the chips and sensors of the future, whilst also setting the foundations for the software technologies to run on this new generation of equipment – which of course includes AI. Meanwhile we are pushing the limits of applied mathematics, for example mapping out disease processes using single cell data, and using mathematics to simulate gigantic ash plumes after a volcanic eruption. In other words: there is plenty of room at the faculty for ground-breaking research. We educate innovative engineers and have excellent labs and facilities that underline our strong international position. In total, more than 1000 employees and 4,000 students work and study in this innovative environment.
