Job description

Oratomic is on a mission to build the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer. We are actively hiring experimental scientists to take part in designing, building, and operating fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. You will work in an AMO-style team, working across hardware (lasers, optics, vacuum, electronics), software, processor design, and whatever else is required to build the working quantum computer.

This role will focus on the design, construction, and operation of the quantum computer, working closely with the quantum error correction and algorithms theory team. This role involves leading the building of complex AMO systems as well as leading a team of engineering technicians. Prior experience in experimental quantum science is desirable but not required.

We are hiring at all experience levels.
