Job Details

Summary

QuEra Computing is pioneering the future of quantum computing technology. We are seeking a talented Laser Engineer to join our Quantum Systems group. In this role, you will design, build and optimize advanced laser systems that are crucial for our neutral atom quantum processors. Your work will contribute to the Quantum Systems group’s mission — the development of next-generation quantum architectures and their productization, in collaboration with both internal and external partners.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, build and optimize high-power, high-precision laser systems to meet the rigorous demands of quantum computing applications;
  • Actively engage in R&D projects focusing on innovative quantum technologies and scalable system architectures, with a productization perspective;
  • Support technological milestones, including scaling qubit numbers and enhancing gate fidelities;
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering teams to ensure laser systems are readily integrable and transferable into quantum platforms;
  • Partner with external collaborators and suppliers to advance laser technologies and uphold system reliability;
  • Perform additional tasks as assigned by management.

Qualifications

  • Ph.D. in Optical Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Exceptional candidates with a Master’s degree and significant experience will also be considered;
  • Extensive experience with high-precision laser systems in quantum computing or related advanced technologies;
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities and a hands-on approach to engineering challenges in a fast-paced environment;
  • Strong communication skills, both written and verbal;
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Proven track record in designing and integrating lasers into complex systems;
  • Experience with various laser technologies, including but not limited to, Ti:Sapphire lasers, diode lasers, rare-earth doped fiber amplifiers, and other frequency-converted light sources;
  • Familiarity with laser safety regulations and industry best practices;
  • Experience leading full production development cycle of Laser-related modules and/or systems.

QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Company

QuEra’s technology is built on large-scale arrays of atoms, laser-cooled to microkelvin temperatures and held in vacuum by movable laser tweezers. These atoms serve as the memory banks for scalable quantum computing with ultrafast, high-fidelity gates, and a clear technology roadmap to millions of qubits. Users can access this technology today on the cloud, running quantum algorithms of their own design on our continuously maintained hardware using QuEra’s first-generation machine, Aquila, a 256-qubit Quantum Processor available on Amazon Braket.
