Q-ctrl

Lead Integration Engineer

Huntsville Full Time
About the team
The Sensing Engineering team at Q-CTRL transforms quantum research into deployable technologies that address real-world problems. We design, build, and field-validate an array of quantum sensors that support our key products, including Ironestone Opal - our solution for GPS-denied navigation.   

You don’t need a background in quantum to make an impact here. We value strong engineering fundamentals, a product mindset, and a drive to solve the hardest engineering problems in quantum sensing today.

About the role

We are seeking a Lead Integration Engineer to help establish and lead the Integration Engineering team within our Sensing division based in Huntsville, Alabama.  This is an exciting opportunity to define the integration role in the development of new quantum sensor prototypes and products, contributing to our growing efforts to deliver software-ruggedised quantum gravimeters, accelerometers, and magnetometers for GPS-denied navigation applications.

As the Lead Integration Engineer, you will own the engineering strategy and implementation for Q-CTRL’s quantum navigation products, ensuring that complex hardware and software subsystems operate together. You will define the engineering standards, processes, and documentation that underpin scalable development and ensure our systems meet performance and reliability targets.

This is a hands-on technical and people leadership role that combines planning, execution, oversight, and team mentorship. You will work closely with engineers and scientists to manage integration of subsystems spanning electronics, optics, mechanics, and software, and help validate complete systems in both lab and field environments. The ideal candidate will be an accomplished engineer with extensive experience working and leading in relevant environments, including aerospace or other mission-critical industries, and a passion for building technology that delivers real-world capability.
