About the Company Our client is a global quantum technologies company on a mission to transform the world's networks for the quantum revolution. Built on technology from a leading Singapore research centre, they provide specialized quantum-security solutions to organizations concerned about the security of their communications networks and infrastructure. Their core expertise is using a space-based quantum platform to establish long-distance quantum networks with global reach.
The Role We're looking for highly motivated FPGA engineers to join a team of space quantum pioneers in Singapore. The company is commercializing quantum communications to prepare the world for the quantum future. Think quantum space lasers, entanglement and military-grade secure communications. As part of this mission, they plan to launch a constellation of satellites to enable worldwide entanglement distribution. The earliest application is highly secure delivery of encryption keys for secret communications.
You'll work directly with scientists and engineers to overcome the technical challenges of quantum communication in the real world.
