Atom Computing
A Senior Optical Engineer at Atom Computing leads the design of opto-mechanical subsystems and drives the build-out of fixtures and processes for precision alignment and assembly within their quantum computing arrays. The role involves collaborating with mechanical engineers and physicists to define system architecture, develop novel optical designs, and characterize performance across laser distribution and high-numerical-aperture imaging areas. This position requires hands-on leadership in both the design and assembly phases of sophisticated optical systems to advance the company's quantum technology.

Atom Computing develops scalable neutral‑atom quantum computers that use individually trapped strontium atoms and ultra‑stable optical‑clock qubits to deliver long coherence times. Their platform combines optical tweezer arrays, precision lasers and Rydberg‑mediated interactions to implement high‑fidelity gates and a path to large‑scale qubit arrays. They offer the hardware and control/software stack (including cloud access) to run quantum simulations, optimization and other applied workloads for research and enterprise customers. Atom Computing collaborates with academic, government and industrial partners to accelerate practical quantum applications and commercialization.
