This role will focus on the design, prototyping, and implementation of precision mechanical and optomechanical systems, as well as developing the CAD workflows and engineering documentation used across the team. You will work closely with scientists and engineers to take designs from initial concepts through fabrication, assembly, and testing in the lab. A strong background in mechanical or optomechanical design, CAD, and hands-on hardware development is desirable for this role. We are hiring at all experience levels.

Requirements:

• Wants to build a quantum computer
• Works well in a highly collaborative team environment

Compensation:

• Benefits (health and dental coverage, 401K, unlimited PTO, paid family leave, visa sponsorship)
• Equity
