## About the role

In this Co-Op/Internship you’ll work at the intersection of optics, atomic physics, and data science. The QPU Build team designs and implements system-wide features of QuEra’s neutral-atom quantum computer architecture. You’ll work hands-on in the lab characterizing the optical systems that trap and control atoms and turn those measurements into insights that drive improvements across the machine. Along the way, you’ll get a holistic view of how a quantum computer is designed and built at QuEra Computing Inc. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Pursuing or recently completed a degree in physics, optics/photonics, engineering, or a related field
- Hands-on optics lab experience (e.g., alignment, beam characterization, working with lasers and optical components) is required
- Strong Python programming skills for data analysis (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas, Matplotlib)
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills
- Strong communication and teamwork skills
- Strong evidence of independent work
