We will also consider part-time applications for this role. Please indicate your preferred working schedule in your cover letter.   

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.   

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 UK and Europe, 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, 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.

As Senior Field Application Engineer – Digital Design, 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 generation 

• Provide technical support, reference designs, and custom example projects to support customer ramp-up 

• Work on customisations 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.    

Requirements

What we need  

• Experience with state-of-the-art AMD/Xilinx FPGA platforms 

• Proven professional experience in at least one of the following areas:    

• Architecture of System on Chip solutions, with at least one CPU and custom accelerators;  

• High-speed interfaces (preference for transceiver-based interfaces);  

• Large-scale, complex systems on FPGA 

• Proven capability to test, debug and improve complex systems, both in the field and remotely   

• Ability to convert product requirements into technical specifications to document and share your work   

• Desire and ability to support customers with the installation  

• Ability and willingness to travel to customer sites within the UK and Europe (around 20%) 

• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team   

• A curious nature and a passion for learning and continuous improvement
