About us
Riverlanes mission is to make quantum computing useful sooner. From climate change to healthcare large and reliable quantum computers will help solve some of the worlds important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack to make this happen. Its a complex problem that requires a range of skills talent and passion. Were making remarkable progress and growing fast.
About the role
We have a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Field Application Engineer (FAE) with a strong background in digital design to successfully lead the installation and integration of Riverlanes quantum error correction stack (Deltaflow) into our partners and customers hardware in the US and North America.
We are looking for a technically driven and customer-oriented Field Application Engineer with a strong background in FPGA design to support customer installations bring-up and design flow integration. Working with our customers across the US you will work directly with internal and external engineering and scientific teams to ensure the successful deployment and optimisation of our FPGA-based system - from design flow setup to debugging and performance tuning.
As a Senior FAE - Digital Design (US) you will help integrate our multi-FPGA low-latency high throughput system that needs to perform complex operations in a predictable and guaranteed way. You will also use your knowledge and expertise to support more junior engineers interact with software and identify novel solutions to our challenging problems.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join Riverlanes customer enablement team and play a pivotal role in enabling key quantum hardware companies with QEC capability.
