Principal Optical Engineer
Atom Computing, Boulder, CO
The role
We are seeking a Principal Optical Engineer. As a technical lead, you will define and implement rigorous standards for optical engineering, ensuring design integrity through detailed modeling and analysis. You will collaborate closely with physicists and subject matter experts to architect the optical assemblies and modules essential for our next-generation neutral atom quantum computers.
This position reports directly to the VP of Optical Engineering and requires on-site work at our Boulder, CO facility four to five days per week.
What you will do
- Initiate and lead the design and specification of complex, next-generation optical systems and subsystems from the component level up to the system level
- Collaborate with technical leaders across engineering domains to understand key product use cases to inform next generation hardware development lifecycle
- Work with physicists and subject matter experts to develop requirements and system architecture for optical assemblies, subsystems, and modules to support next generation neutral atom computers
