Job summary

Oratomic is hiring systems engineers to design, build, and operate fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum computers. You will work in a tight-knit team spanning hardware, software, and processor design to advance our first-of-its-kind quantum system.

You will tackle integration of complex hardware and software, define interfaces, develop specifications, and coordinate system‑level design, assembly, testing, and operation with scientists and engineers across disciplines.

Qualifications

• Strong technical background across hardware and software integration.
• Experience working across multiple engineering disciplines is desirable.
• Collaborative team environment with scientists and engineers.

Responsibilities

• Integrate complex hardware and software systems and define interfaces between subsystems.
• Develop system specifications and coordinate system‑level design, assembly, testing and operation.
• Work hands-on in the lab in collaboration with cross-disciplinary teams.

Job description

Oratomic is on a mission to build the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer. We are actively hiring systems engineers to take part in designing, building, and operating fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. You will work in a tight-knit team 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 integration of complex hardware and software systems, including defining interfaces between subsystems, developing specifications, and coordinating system-level design, assembly, testing, and operation. You will work closely with scientists and engineers across disciplines, combining system-level planning with hands-on work in the lab. A strong technical background and experience working across multiple engineering disciplines is desirable for this role.

We are hiring at all experience levels.

What they're looking for

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

Pay and benefits

Posted base pay is $200,000 – $350,000 a year.

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

Caltech/Harvard spinout developing fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum computing with highly efficient error correction targeting utility scale at ~10,000 qubits.
