SummaryYou will work closely with a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and developers to build and advance the most powerful neutral-atom quantum computers in the world. This is a hands-on experimental role at the intersection of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics and cutting-edge quantum hardware development.
Responsibilities- Design, prototype, and deploy opto-mechanical systems for next-generation quantum computing platforms, with a focus on hands-on experimental implementation in a lab environment.
- Characterize, optimize, and troubleshoot precision laser and imaging optical systems, ensuring performance meets the demanding requirements of neutral-atom quantum processors.
- Improve the performance, and operability of existing proof-of-concept quantum computing machines.
- Collaborate with scientists and engineers across disciplines to develop and refine new experimental concepts and optical architectures.
- Contribute to the development of experimental procedures, documentation, and best practices to support reliable and repeatable system performance.
Qualifications- Ph.D. in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) Physics or a closely related field.
- 3-6 years of hands-on experimental experience in precision optical systems, opto-mechanical design, or laser systems, including industry or postdoctoral experience.
- Strong practical skills with precision laser systems, optical components, and imaging systems in a lab setting.
- A collaborative mindset and enthusiasm for working in highly interdisciplinary teams.
Preferred Qualifications- Experience with neutral-atom, ion trap, or other quantum computing or quantum sensing platforms.
- Familiarity with opto-mechanical design tools and practices.
- Strong project management and organizational skills.
- Experience translating experimental concepts into robust, deployable hardware.
