Senior Quantum Engineer

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

We are looking for Quantum Engineers to work on all aspects of neutral atom quantum computing. As a Quantum Engineer at Atom Computing, you will join a team of talented scientists and engineers who are working to translate fundamental atomic physics to a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.

We welcome applicants from a diverse set of backgrounds, but are specifically interested in candidates with experience in the following fields: Trapping and manipulation of cold atoms; Coherent control of quantum systems (for example: neutral atoms, trapped ions, NV- centers, nuclear magnetic resonance, superconducting qubits); Quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) techniques.

Responsibilities

• Design and construct the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.

• Generate intellectual property related to the design and operation of neutral-atom-based quantum computers.

• Distill and communicate findings internally, and as appropriate, in external publications and presentations.

• Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.

Experience & Education

• PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field.

• 2+ years work industry experience designing and operating quantum computing hardware.
