We are seeking an Senior Optical Assembly & Alignment Engineer to build and verify the optical breadboards and laser-delivery assemblies used in neutral-atom quantum computers. This bench-focused role establishes component placement, beam alignment, polarization, and optical performance at the subsystem level, delivering verified assemblies to the system integration team.
- Build optical breadboards from released layouts, drawings, bills of materials, and instructions; verify optic identity, coating orientation, mount placement, and assembly references.
- Install and align lenses, mirrors, beam splitters, polarization optics, and fiber-coupling assemblies to establish specified free-space beam paths, geometry, and subsystem interfaces.
- Measure throughput, power, beam profile, polarization, and coupling efficiency; use wavefront sensors or interferometers when required by the...
