Optical Bonding Technician

We are seeking an Optical Bonding Technician to perform precision bonding of optical and optomechanical assemblies for neutral-atom quantum computers. This hands-on role prepares surfaces, applies and cures adhesives, and inspects completed bonds using approved procedures and engineer-defined alignment references.

Put your precision craftsmanship to work on the optical assemblies inside a quantum computer. As an early member of Atom's new manufacturing organization, you'll work closely with optical engineers and help refine the bonding practices that future builds will rely on.

• Verify components, surface condition, approved materials, and current bonding instructions before beginning an assembly.
• Clean and prepare optics and mating surfaces, protecting coatings and preventing contamination or damage during handling.
• Prepare and dispense approved adhesives; maintain material identification, shelf-life controls, and required process records.
• Set up bonding fixtures and position components with optical engineers, preserving the required alignment and bond geometry.
• Execute controlled curing procedures and record specified settings while protecting component position and optical cleanliness.
• Inspect completed bonds for workmanship and visible defects; support post-cure alignment checks and report deviations to Engineering and Quality.
• Maintain component and adhesive traceability, completed work records, and inspection results; perform rework only under approved instructions.
• Maintain clean bonding stations, dispensing tools, fixtures, and material storage; support engineer-led process improvements and follow laboratory and chemical-safety procedures.
