Job description

Overview

Are you interested in joining a team that is revolutionizing the resource exploration and navigation industry? Atomionics is developing quantum sensors using cold atom interferometry, where atoms are cooled to nearly absolute zero using lasers. At such extreme temperatures, these atoms behave like waves, enabling precise measurement of forces acting on them.

This technology has vast potential applications, including advancing the zero-carbon energy transition, enhancing the performance of inertial navigation systems, and revolutionizing the global positioning system. At Atomionics, you will have the opportunity to design, prototype, test, refine and manufacture Quantum Gravity Sensors. You will develop solutions to improve the performance of our sensor, while also making it compact and robust for field deployment on projects around the world.

Atomionics is backed by some outstanding investors across private and public sectors, such as Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, and other notable angels.

Responsibilities

• Design and fabrication of jigs, mounts, and fixtures for optics, electronics, and vacuum assembly.
• Create CAD models and engineering drawings, and select appropriate manufacturing processes forprecision manufacturing and fabrication of optomechanical components.
• Structural, vibrational, and heat transfer analysis (FEA) to ensure robustness in harsh environment
• Design temperature and vibration control systems for different subsystems.
• Liaise with our international supply chain partners located in China, France, Germany, India, Italy,USA, etc. and work within a multicultural team.

About you

• An absolutely driven individual with creative problem-solving skills, analytical mind, and persistence, ideally, demonstrated
• Highly skilled with CAD software: Autodesk Inventor / Solidworks etc
• Deeply knowledgeable in manufacturing techniques, surface finishing and assembly
• Skilled in GD&T for engineering drawings including tolerance stacks
• Skilled with hands-on fabrication including machining lathe, CNC, laser cutter, 3D printers

Even better if you have

• Experience in thermal design, including heat sinks, heat pipes, liquid heat exchangers, peltiers and FEA for thermal simulations
• Experience in designing simple PCBs & cable harnesses
• Been through a full product development cycle for a device with a complex system architecture
• Worked on personal hobby projects (and can brag about them!)

What we can offer you

• A chance to learn about the intricacies of deep-tech research, product development, and strategy in a high-growth startup while working with some of the best engineers and physicists
• Work on the cutting edge of quantum technology
• Develop robust applications for translational research
• Board games and curry night
