We are building scalable, faulttolerant neutralatom quantum computers that harness the power of atomic physics, precision engineering, and advanced control systems. Our interdisciplinary team combines quantum scientists, optical, mechanical and electrical engineers, and software developers to push the boundaries of whats physically possible. About the Role We are seeking a Principal Mechanical Engineer to lead the mechanical system design and precision engineering, designing the infrastructure that enables highfidelity, scalable neutralatom quantum systems. The role owns key aspects of system design and integrationfrom mechanical precision and thermal stability to automated alignment and digital design workflowsensuring that our hardware meets the demands of worldclass quantum performance. Key Areas of Ownership Alignment and Calibration Design for Automation Lead the mechanical and control architecture for automated alignment, calibration and repeatability across complex optomechanical subsystems. Thermal and Vibration Management Architect and own thermal control systems, including liquid cooling infrastructure, vibration isolation, and dynamic stability of quantum system platforms. Precision Engineering Develop ultrastable, tightlytolerated assemblies supporting optical and atomic positioning requirements. Systems Engineering (SysML) Apply systems engineering principles and SysML modeling to define interfaces, requirements, and traceability across mechanical, electrical and optical domains. PLM / Digital Thread Establish and maintain a robust product lifecycle management framework, ensuring a seamless digital thread from concept through production. CAD Ownership Oversee mechanical CAD architecture, standards, libraries and best practices across the engineering organization. Responsibilities Own the mechanical design and system integration of major quantum hardware subsystems. Develop and execute precision alignment and calibration strategies in partnership with controls and optical engineers. Model, simulate and validate thermal and vibrational behavior to ensure operational stability. Lead crossdisciplinary design reviews and implement systemlevel design traceability using SysML tools. Drive PLM processes, configuration management and digital twin implementation. Mentor and guide mechanical engineers on best practices for CAD design, analysis and documentation. Collaborate closely with physics and manufacturing teams to ensure experimental and production alignment. Qualifications Required M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering or related field, or equivalent experience. 10+ years in precision mechanical design for highstability or optomechanical systems. Expertise in thermal management, vibration isolation and liquid cooling systems. Strong proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks or Inventor), PLM and digital thread practices, and analysis tools. Experience implementing systems engineering frameworks (SysML, MBSE). Proven success in leading complex, multidisciplinary hardware development programs from concept through to production. Preferred Background in atomic physics, quantum systems or UHV optomechanical design. Experience developing and scaling automation systems for precision alignment or calibration. Handson experience with precision assembly, metrology and validation testing. Strong communication and leadership skills across technical and executive teams.
