Laser Engineer

About This Role

Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing by helping Atom Computing manage and scale up their laser systems. The role focuses on increasing reliability and performance of quantum computers built using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical expertise to laser and optical projects with the goal of maximizing performance and robustness
• Gather project requirements, turn them into action plans, and ensure the team completes tasking on-time with proper prioritization

Requirements

• 2+ years experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical, opto-mechanical and/or laser systems
• Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers
• Hands on experience aligning optical elements in accordance with documented design
• Experience with current state-of-the-art lasers/amplifiers (e.g. diode and fiber-based) and nonlinear optical materials
• Experience with the characterization, phase-locking, and optimization of laser and nonlinear optical systems
• Experience with design and modeling of nonlinear optical and laser/amplifier systems
• Experience with data analysis (taking, plotting, analyzing, fitting and interpreting relevant data from optical testing experiments)
• Experience with engineering change documentation to work from assembly drawings, schematics, wiring diagrams, sketches and other written, visual and oral instructions

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s in Physics, Optics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field
• 2+ years experience (advanced degree inclusive) using and maintaining optical, opto-mechanical and/or laser systems

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
• Familiarity with Zemax, Onshape, and/or Solidworks/CAD for designing optical and optomechanical systems
