Work In Tech

High Q provides drug hunters and structural biologists with quantum-enabled EPR systems that resolve complex problems in molecular dynamics. Our flagship product, the FATHOM EPR Spectrometer, is a cutting-edge Electron Paramagnetic Resonance system designed to simplify groundbreaking research in biophysics, materials science, and pharmaceutical development.

We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative software developer to help us build strong customer-focused products. As a member of our team, you will contribute to the work of a talented group that values diverse ideas, perspectives, and backgrounds.

You will join our development team to help create user-focused and data-driven integrated control software, which is the primary interface for users to engage with the High Q product line. As a core developer, you will also assist in pushing the cutting edge of EPR and quantum control techniques by creating tools to facilitate research activities.

Responsibilities

• Design real-time data processing pipelines for high-throughput structural biology applications.
• Collaborate with physicists and engineers to design and optimize quantum control algorithms for EPR systems.
• Contribute to full-stack development of modular, cross-platform software (Python/C++ backend, Qt-based GUI).
• Implement automated testing frameworks for hardware-software integration in lab environments.
• Participate in Agile workflows (sprint planning, code reviews) while maintaining ISO-compliant documentation.
