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.

Atom Computing is seeking a Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer to help lead the design of opto-mechanical subsystems, while also assisting with fixturing, assembly, alignment, and testing.

Work independently and partner with optical engineers and physicists to iteratively design mechanics for optical subsystems in the areas of laser distribution, high numerical aperture microscope imaging, and optical cavities

Work with physicists to design ultra-high vacuum chambers, vacuum system housing, and mechanical coupling to optical systems

Analyze and make recommendations to the engineering team to balance competing requirements

Create novel designs and specifications from the component level up to the system level

Evaluate suitability of design solutions by performing detailed stability, thermal, and tolerance analysis

Own complex technical projects from concept to delivery

Assist in hands-on assembly and precision alignment of finalized designs

Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, advanced degree is a plus

5-8+ years opto-mechanical design experience

Hands on experience with optics and opto-mechanical best practices

Experience with SolidWorks, PDM, or equivalent design and data management software

Experience with FEA (meshing, modal analysis, thermal analysis, etc.) and corresponding first order analysis
