About the role

Original posting from Oratomic, Inc. via Ashby

Oratomic is on a mission to build the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computer.

We are actively hiring embedded hardware and software engineers to take part in designing, building, and operating fault-tolerant neutral atom quantum computers. You will work in a tight-knit team, working across hardware (electronics, FPGAs, scientific cameras, computer hardware), software, processor design, and whatever else is required to build the working quantum computer. This role will focus on the low-level hardware and software needed to control and interface with the quantum computer, from FPGAs and firmware to scientific cameras and high-speed data acquisition, integrated within the quantum hardware team. A strong background in embedded systems, computer engineering, electrical engineering, FPGA development, or low-level software is desirable for this role. We are hiring at all experience levels.

Requirements:

  • Wants to build a quantum computer
  • Works well in a highly collaborative team environment

Compensation:

  • $200,000-$350,000/year depending on experience
  • Benefits (health and dental coverage, 401K, unlimited PTO, paid family leave, visa sponsorship)
  • Equity

Work location: Onsite in Pasadena, CA
