Pleasanton, United States Vector Atomic Full time

Vector Atomic is building quantum devices for applications including GPS-free navigation and timing, geophysical exploration, and telecommunications. We are focused on delivering near-term products that take advantage of the exquisite properties of quantum systems. Our devices are designed with the form, fit, function, and cost for the real world.

Vector Atomic is hiring Opto-mechanical Engineers to build ultraprecise quantum devices for applications including autonomous/GPS-free navigation, high-bandwidth satellite communications, and geophysical exploration. In this hands-on role, you'll contribute to the full lifecycle, from conceptual design to deployment. In this hands-on role, you will develop complex optical systems central to fielding quantum devices.

We are seeking strong individual contributors that take ownership of their work while supporting overall team goals. Our rapidly growing team of 50 plus brings an innovative but practical approach to developing quantum devices. If you'd like to work on transformational technologies in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, come join our team

Requirements

What You'll Do:

  • Detailed optical/optomechanical system design; simulations and prototyping to support design
  • Micro-optical assembly and packaging for environmental robustness (thermal, mechanical, etc.)
  • Develop precision build and alignment procedures for manufacturability
What We're Looking For:
  • BS in optical engineering (MS/PhD preferred) or a related field + 3 years of relevant experience.
  • US export control laws require "U.S. persons" including U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful permanent residents, and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.
Hands-on expertise with several of the following:
  • Optical fiber and laser diode coupling and collimation
  • Precision bonding and assembly techniques using active alignment tools
  • Automated assembly and characterization; design for manufacturability
  • Narrow linewidth lasers (Diodes, DPSS, Fiber lasers, etc.) spanning 400-1550 nm
  • Integrated photonics systems
  • Polarization optics (Waveplates, polarizers, PM fibers)
  • Optical metrology and beam characterization (Photodetectors, beam profilers, polarimeters)
  • Thermal and mechanically stable optical designs
  • Solidworks, COMSOL and/or Zemax
Benefits

Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We are an employee-owned company with competitive compensation and benefits including:
  • Platinum-level family health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
