Quantum Engineer: our view in 3 lines...

  • The Role:This role is for a quantum engineer working on neutral atom quantum computing systems and research.
  • The Person:The person will design and build scientific hardware and control interfaces, generate intellectual property, and communicate findings through internal, external, and publication channels.
  • Requirements:The ideal candidate has experience in trapping and manipulation of cold atoms, coherent control of quantum systems, QCVV techniques, and familiarity with Python and Git software version control.

About the role

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.

    • Required Qualifications

  • Extensive knowledge of the state-of-the-art techniques used in atomic physics and quantum computing research 
  • Deep understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matter.
  • Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
    • Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, we offer unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance.  We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!
     
    The base salary range for this position is between $160,000 - $275,000 commensurate with experience and hiring level: Quantum Engineer, Senior Quantum Engineer, Principal Quantum Engineer and Senior Principal Quantum Engineer. In addition, we offer a 20% annual bonus, sign-on bonus, additional bonus potential and incentive stock options for equity in the company.
