Senior Laser Engineer
Atom Computing, Boulder, CO
The role
As a Senior Laser Engineer, you'll independently own the precision laser and optical systems — diode and fiber lasers, nonlinear optical frequency conversion — that keep our quantum computers running reliably. You'll bring deep expertise in one or more laser/optics domains to our hardest technical problems, set the bar for documentation and technical rigor, and partner closely with physicists, hardware, and software engineers as we scale.
What you will do
- Own alignment, tuning, and troubleshooting of laser and optical systems — diode and fiber lasers/amplifiers, nonlinear optical systems — with minimal supervision
- Design, characterize, phase-lock, and optimize laser and nonlinear optical systems for new hardware builds and upgrades
- Lead technical projects end-to-end: gather requirements, build action plans, and drive prioritization and schedule
- Analyze optical test data
