Atom Computing develops gate-based quantum computers that use arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms as qubits. Backed by Innovation Endeavors.
About the role
At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. Our systems will give customers access to computational breakthroughs that were out of reach until now. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals advancing the state of the art in quantum computing. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- PhD in physics, applied physics, optical engineering, electrical engineering, or a closely related discipline, or comparable professional experience
- 10+ years of experience in experimental AMO physics, quantum hardware, or precision laser-system integration
- 3+ years providing technical leadership on multidisciplinary teams, with demonstrated responsibility for integration readiness, complex fault isolation, and laboratory execution
- Strong understanding of neutral-atom quantum computers, including atom trapping, optical addressing, coherent control, and readout
- Hands-on capability in optical alignment, laser stability diagnostics, vacuum interfaces, and synchronized RF and control systems
- Practical AMO knowledge, including laser-atom interactions and laser cooling and trapping, sufficient to resolve integration issues directly with experimental physicists
More about this role
At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. Our systems will give customers access to computational breakthroughs that were out of reach until now. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals advancing the state of the art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a Principal System Integration & Test Lead with deep atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and quantum-computing knowledge. You will be the technical authority for whole-system integration: taking complete neutral-atom quantum computers from assembled subsystems to atom-ready machines, then handing each one to our Quantum Engineers (QEs) for testing with atoms. This is a hands-on technical leadership role reporting directly to the VP of Manufacturing.
- Own whole-system integration across optics, laser delivery, vacuum interfaces, radio-frequency (RF) controls, timing, and instrument software for neutral-atom quantum computers.
- Apply AMO knowledge to define hardware-readiness checks. Agree integration, alignment, and handoff criteria with QEs and Systems Engineering.
- Work alongside QEs on first-of-a-kind systems to establish...
