Principal Cryogenic Vacuum Engineer - 581
Broomfield, CO
We are seeking a
Principal Cryogenic Vacuum Engineer
in our
Broomfield, CO
location to apply their skills to the development of our next generation large scale quantum computers. The ideal candidate will have a thorough understanding of cryogenic design principles and technical strategy. The candidate should also have a solid understanding of ultra‑high vacuum systems, feedthroughs, CAD, thermal modeling, and prototyping. This diverse set of topics will be used to create a state‑of‑the‑art design for a commercial quantum computer that advances key performance metrics in qubit count, run‑time, and circuit fidelity.
Key Responsibilities
Lead the architecture team to develop producible, scalable quantum computers from the perspective of cryogenic and vacuum engineering
Apply mechanical design tools to rapidly design, prototype, and deliver cryogenic/ extreme high vacuum (XHV) systems that meet the evolving needs of customers
Mentor junior engineers
Oversee the building and validation of system and subsystem prototypes
Work closely with a small, cross‑functional design team to rapidly conceptualize, validate and deliver high reliability cryogenics and XHV systems
Define system level requirements and high‑level sub‑system and technology requirements
Work with subsystem teams to identify potential technology insertions into the architecture
Interact with cryogenic team to co‑design large‑heat‑lift cooling systems
Communicate findings and design proposals to larger technical, management, and executive teams
Generate and present XHV and cryogenic sub‑system design trade studies and analysis.
YOU MUST HAVE
Bachelors degree minimum
Minimum of 12 years experience involving one or more of the following areas: cryogenic system design, vacuum systems, thermal modeling, qubits, atomic physics, spectroscopy, optics, electronics, or laboratory work in the physical sciences.
Due to Contractual requirements, must be a U.S. Person defined as, U.S. citizen permanent resident or green card holder, workers granted asylum or refugee status
Due to national security requirements imposed by the U.S. Government, candidates for this position must not be a People’s Republic of China national or Russian national unless the candidate is also a U.S. citizen.
WE VALUE
15 years experience in scientific research and development, engineering, or leadership roles
Experience leading a team in designing or operating cryogenic and/or XHV systems
Strong organizational and leadership skills, and experience in working with customers and partners
Experience performing simulation and modeling to inform experiments
Experience with control systems for data collection, signal processing, and analysis
Experience with electrical and fiber optic feedthroughs
Experience with extreme‑high vacuum environments
Experience with trapped ions and ion transport
Excellent written and oral communication skills, with published results within their field of research
Compensation & Benefits Incentive Eligible Range posted is inclusive of bonus target when applicable. The pay range for this role is $173,000 – $217,000 annually. Actual compensation within this range may vary based on the candidate’s skills, educational background, professional experience, and unique qualifications for the role.
