Quantum Engineer
Atom Computing · Boulder, CO · Posted 29 days ago
Design and build the hardware and control systems that will translate atomic physics into a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
We are looking for Quantum Engineers to work on all aspects of neutral atom quantum computing. As a Quantum Engineer at Atom Computing, you will join a team of talented scientists and engineers who are working to translate fundamental atomic physics to a scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer.
We welcome applicants from a diverse set of backgrounds, but are specifically interested in candidates with experience in the following fields: Trapping and manipulation of cold atoms; Coherent control of quantum systems (for example: neutral atoms, trapped ions, NV- centers, nuclear magnetic resonance, superconducting qubits); Quantum characterization, verification, and validation (QCVV) techniques.
- Design and construct the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
- Generate intellectual property related to the design and operation of neutral-atom-based quantum computers.
- Distill and communicate findings internally, and as appropriate, in external publications and presentations.
- Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
Experience & Education
- PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field.
Required Qualifications
- Extensive knowledge of the state-of-the-art techniques used in atomic physics and quantum computing research
- Deep understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matter.
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
Preferred Qualifications
- Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
