At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking a Quantum Operations Engineer to commission, operate, support, and improve quantum computers located away from our R+D headquarters in Boulder, CO. As a Quantum Operations Engineer at Atom Computing, you will join a team of talented scientists and engineers who are working to translate fundamental atomic physics to a robust, operational 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.
Job Responsibilities:
- Build, commission, troubleshoot and improve the scientific hardware and control interfaces (both hardware and software) that are the essential backbone of the quantum computing platform.
- Requires extensive knowledge of the state-of-the-art techniques used in atomic physics and quantum computing research, and a deep understanding of the fundamental interactions between light and matter.
- Quantum Operations Engineers are required to be located near Copenhagen Denmark, and participate in an on-call schedule for emergences or unexpected maintenance
- The Quantum Operations Engineer role involves extended travel to Boulder Colorado to participate in commissioning of quantum computers and knowledge transfer.
- Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
Experience & Education
- PhD in Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent industry experience.
Qualifications
- Strong independent troubleshooting skills for complex hardware and software systems is required.
- Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and has a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.
- Ability to effectively communicate and collaborate with a diverse team of experimental physicists, hardware, and software engineers.
- Definite pluses: Familiarity with Python and Git software version control
