Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer

Join Atom Computing, a leading company in quantum computing. As a Senior Opto-Mechanical Engineer, you will design opto-mechanical subsystems, work with physicists to design ultra-high vacuum chambers, and own complex technical projects from concept to delivery. You should have a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, 5-8+ years of opto-mechanical design experience, and mastery of SolidWorks or equivalent design software.

• Lead the design of opto-mechanical subsystems, including laser distribution, high numerical aperture microscope imaging, and optical cavities.
• Collaborate with physicists to design ultra-high vacuum chambers, vacuum system housing, and mechanical coupling to optical systems.
• Own complex technical projects from concept to delivery, including creating novel designs and specifications, performing detailed stability and tolerance analysis.

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, advanced degree is a plus
• 5-8+ years opto-mechanical design experience
• Design of precision mechanisms and kinematic systems
• Mastery of SolidWorks, PDM, or equivalent design and data management software
• DFMA, tolerancing, drawings to ASME Y14.5M and ISO 10110
• Strong background with FEA (meshing, modal analysis, thermal analysis, etc.) and corresponding first order analysis
• Hands on experience with optics and opto-mechanical best practices
• Experience mentoring junior engineers and leading technical reviews
• Proven track record of owning complex technical projects
• Understanding of material science related to adhesives in an optical environment
• Excellent communication, listening, and people skills
• Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds
• Strong knowledge of first order optics and aberration theory
• Ability to work effectively in an open, collaborative environment
