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, engineering, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.

We're looking for a Mechanical Engineer to join our Opto-Mechanical Engineering team to focus on designing the physical systems that house, protect, and connect our Control Systems and associated electronic products - from enclosures and chassis to thermal management and cabling. You'll work closely with electrical, firmware, and systems engineers to turn functional requirements into manufacturable, reliable hardware, primarily for 19" rack-mount and other pluggable instrumentation form factors.

This is a hands-on mechanical design role covering the full product lifecycle: concept, CAD modeling, analysis, prototyping, and production support.

This position is located in Boulder, Colorado, and will report to the Opto-Mechanical Engineering Manager.

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance. We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!   The base salary range for this position is between $140,000 - $165,000 annually, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.
