Job summary

Atom Computing designs quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. We seek an Opto-Mechanical Engineer to design opto-mechanical subsystems and assist with fixturing, assembly, alignment, test, and integration.

You will partner with optical engineers and physicists to develop laser distribution, high-NA imaging, and optical cavities, plus ultra-high vacuum chambers and mechanical couplings. The base salary ranges from $120,000 to $145,000, with an annual bonus and equity.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; advanced degree a plus.
• 3-5+ years opto-mechanical design experience.
• Hands-on optics and opto-mechanical best practices.

Responsibilities

• Partner with optical engineers and physicists to design mechanics for optical subsystems in laser distribution, high numerical aperture microscopy 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
• Assist in hands-on assembly, alignment, and integration of finalized designs
