Compact quantum sensors for precision navigation and subsurface monitoring
Nomad Atomics is building hardware and embedded software for quantum sensors—a hardware-heavy operation evident in their FPGA (Verilog, VHDL, Vivado), embedded Linux, and C stack. Active projects span optical subsystem design, sensor ruggedisation, and real-world deployment, with concurrent focus on data pipelines and surveying software. The lean team (11–50) is hiring engineers and researchers simultaneously, signaling parallel tracks in hardware development and field validation.
Nomad Atomics develops compact, low-cost quantum sensors targeting inertial navigation and underground fluid monitoring applications where drift and long-term stability limit current commercial offerings. The company operates as a hardware-software hybrid: designing and prototyping optical subsystems, managing FPGA designs on SoCs, and building data processing pipelines for sensor output. Deployment in real-world environments is an active priority. Based in Melbourne, the team is currently recruiting across engineering, research, and data roles in Australia.
Python, Docker, AWS, Linux, FPGA (Verilog, VHDL, Vivado), Yocto, C, and Embedded Linux. The mix reflects both hardware design and cloud deployment for data processing.
End-to-end quantum sensor development: optical subsystem design, FPGA ruggedisation, real-world deployment, and data processing pipelines. Focus areas are inertial navigation and subsurface fluid monitoring.
