$150K–$175K
Why join Atom Computing?
Why now: quantum hardware is crossing from lab curiosity toward error-corrected logical qubits, the step that makes these machines usable for real work. Atom Computing, a Berkeley quantum computer builder, could become the default machine for chemistry and materials work. With $191M raised, BoxGroup and Third Point Ventures back a $100M Series C, and 24 of 38 open roles appeared in the last 30 days.
JustBacked's take, based on Atom Computing's own site and its funding and hiring data.
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.
Atom Computing is seeking an Optical Engineer specializing in Lens Design to create custom, high-performance optical systems from the ground up. In this role, you will own the complete optical design lifecycle—from initial concept and ray-tracing to tolerancing, finalizing optical prescriptions, and working directly with fabrication vendors to bring custom lenses for our quantum computer to life.
