Optomechanical Engineer

About the role

About the Company

Logiqal is on a mission to build the first scaled quantum computer, deploying millions of qubits to tackle the world’s most important problems. Our thesis is that you have to build a full scale machine to learn what the actual hard parts are, just like you have to build a full scale rocket before the first launch. We’re looking for a few visionary scientists and engineers to join our team, to move fast and blow stuff up.

Based in Princeton, NJ our founding physics team has decades of combined research experience at leading academic and industry labs including Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Google Quantum. Our approach is based on neutral atom qubit technology developed in research labs at Princeton by the founding team. Our scalable systems are composed of manufacturable sub-modules, controlled by state-of-the-art CMOS optoelectronics, and designed around a unique computer architecture.

If you’re excited to build something that’s never existed before at the cutting edge of physics and engineering—together with an awesome team with deep technical expertise—come build with us!

About the Role

We are looking for an Optomechanical Engineer to design and build the literal backbone of our quantum processors, translating lab prototypes into manufacturable hardware that can grow to first-of-a-kind, full-scale quantum datacenters.

You will design and prototype custom precision optomechanics, modular optical breadboards, and the large-scale mechanical infrastructure that integrates every component of the processor. You will work with quantum computing researchers and optical engineers to identify components with their design criteria and timelines, then complete the design, prototyping, construction, and validation.

Requirements include familiarity with CAD, FEA, 2D mechanical drawings and tolerancing, and DFM. Basic familiarity with optics and experience with hands-on construction and alignment are expected. No knowledge of quantum physics is required, though we’re happy to teach you.

__________

Compensation consists of a base salary and equity. The salary range for this role is $125-200k, commensurate with experience. We also provide comprehensive benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and highly subsidized benefits for spouses and dependents, a 401k and FSA.
