Senior Quantum Hardware Engineer

Working with a fast growing Quantum computing start up in Munich, as A Quantum Engineer you will collaborate with leading scientists and experts in quantum technology. In close collaboration with software, mechanical, and electrical engineers and our algorithm teams you will design and build up quantum computers for our customers.
.

Your role & responsibilities:

• Module Leadership: Take charge of a key module in our quantum computer (like imaging system, tweezer generation, part of laser distribution system).
• System Integration: Integrate and optimize your module with the overall system.
• Project Rotation: Move to new projects after successful integration.
• Collaboration: Work with software, mechanical, and electrical engineering teams for development and implementation.
• Ongoing Learning: Keep up with AMO physics advancements to improve system performance.

Requirements:

• A PhD or Postdoc with a strong background in AMO physics.
• Hands-on experience in setting up and operating lasers and optical systems.

During your PhD or Postdoc you should have come into contact with one or more of the following topics:

• Atom arrays based on optical tweezers
• Alkaline-earth-metal atoms
• Rydberg atoms
• UHV systems for ultracold atoms or trapped ions
• High numerical aperture imaging & addressing
• Highly stable (in frequency and amplitude) lasers 

Supplementary skills: 

• Programming experience (i.e., python)
• Electronics design
• Mechanical design
• Data analysis
• Industry experience is a huge plus
