Working with an interdisciplinary integration team, this role will coordinate efforts to achieve on-time integration of multiple subsystems. Candidates should expect a fast-paced, team-based, and challenging technical environment. Key Responsibilities:
Work alongside an interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers to architect, integrate, and launch commercial quantum computing systems. Lead the deployment, integration, and testing of optical systems to generate, deliver, and measure light into the quantum computer, including low noise lasers, electro-optics, achromatic imaging systems, fiberized beam routing, and single photon counting modules. Collaborate with scientists and engineers to troubleshoot and diagnose diverse optical systems and collect data to characterize system performance in a research lab environment. Coordinate development and design projects that validate technologies, methods, alignments, and suppliers for optical system implementation. Perform design trade studies and analyses with optical system design teams, acting as the primary contact for optical system requirements to ensure designs meet performance goals. Organize and document ongoing optical system maintenance and performance upgrades with the system integration and optical engineering teams. Contribute practical data to future quantum computer designs involving optical, micro-optical, and photonic systems for delivering and measuring light in next-generation quantum systems. YOU MUST HAVE:
