Atom Computing · Boulder, CO
Laser Engineer in the Quantum Engineering Department aligning, tuning, and troubleshooting diode- and fiber-based lasers, amplifiers, and nonlinear optical systems for neutral-atom quantum computers. Designs and models laser systems, analyzes optical test data, and maintains engineering change documentation. Works day-to-day with experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a Laser Engineer to join our Quantum Engineering Department. Our neutral-atom quantum computers depend on a growing network of precision laser and optical systems that need to run reliably around the clock. In this role, you'll work hands-on with that hardware: aligning, characterizing, and optimizing systems on the bench, then turning that work into documented, repeatable designs the team can build on. You'll partner closely with experimental physicists, hardware engineers, and software engineers, and your work will directly shape how reliably our quantum computers run day to day.
