PsiQuantum is hiring a staff software engineer for the software that runs its electro-optical test stations. The person will extend test-sequencing code, write automated measurement methods for electrical and optical characterization, build SCPI/VISA instrument drivers, and debug fleet-wide timing, alignment, and throughput problems. The posting asks for strong Python including async, hands-on automated test software with instrument control, and familiarity with electrical, optical, or electro-optical measurement; it also lists photonics, quantum hardware, or wafer-level test experience. The role sits between software and hardware.
