Builds fault-tolerant neutral-atom quantum processors
Oratomic is on a mission to build the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
We are actively hiring optical engineers to take part in designing, building, and operating fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. You will work in a tight-knit team, working across hardware (lasers, optics, vacuum, electronics), software, processor design, and whatever else is required to build the working quantum computer. This role will focus on design and implementation of complex optical systems key to building the working quantum computer, integrated within the quantum hardware team. A strong background in optical engineering, laser engineering, or comparable skillsets, is desirable for this role. We are hiring at all experience levels.
Requirements:
Wants to build a quantum computer
Works well in a highly collaborative team environment
Compensation:
$200,000-$350,000/year depending on experience
Benefits (health and dental coverage, 401K, unlimited PTO, paid family leave, visa sponsorship)
Equity
Work location: Onsite in Pasadena, CA

Oratomic builds fault-tolerant, utility-scale quantum computers that use lasers as optical tweezers to trap and control individual neutral atoms. The system uses neutral-atom qubits and ultra-efficient quantum error correction so many qubits can run reliably to perform useful computations. It emphasizes the neutral-atom platform and end-to-end, large-scale machines rather than early noisy intermediate-scale products, and it is supported by a network of Caltech-affiliated researchers and major investors. Its goal is to deliver useful, error-corrected quantum machines at utility scale by the end of the decade.
