About us

Riverlane’s mission is to make quantum computing useful, sooner. From climate change to healthcare, large and reliable quantum computers will help solve some of the world’s important challenges. Riverlane is building the quantum error correction stack to make this happen. It’s a complex problem that requires a range of skills, talent and passion. We’re 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 Riverlane’s 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 optimization 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 Riverlane’s customer enablement team and play a pivotal role in enabling key quantum hardware companies with QEC capability. This team is a mix of physicists, software engineers and hardware engineers, working together on a range of exciting and cutting-edge projects.

Our mission is exciting, but complex.  It requires teams with a wide range of skills and perspectives, that communicate well and collaborate effectively to achieve truly innovative solutions.  You will thrive in an environment where knowledge sharing and continuous learning are the norm.  We are moving fast in a brand new market, where requirements can change quickly as the technology evolves, so the ability to adapt is critical.

What you will do

As Senior Field Application Engineer – Digital Design (US), you will :

• Leverage your expertise on FPGA platforms (e.g. AMD / Xilinx MPSoCs / RFSoCs, Altera Stratix 7 or Stratix 10), and associated IP integration workflows to our customers and scientists.
• Drive the integration of our solution into our customers’ existing systems, leading on-site and remote customer support
• Guide customers through RTL-based design, synthesis, implementation, timing closure, and bitstream
• Provide technical support, reference designs, and custom example projects to support customer ramp-up
• Work on customizations of our RTL to meet the needs of early-customers / prototypes.
• Act as the technical bridge between customers and internal engineering teams, ensuring that field feedback helps shape product improvements
• Collaborate with Business Development to support pre-sales technical evaluations, proof-of-concepts, and customer benchmarks

In performing the above, you will (often from scratch) design, modify or integrate novel IPs and develop tests, collaborating closely with our software, verification and testing experts to deliver an outstanding product.
