Your mission

As 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.
Your profile

Necessary 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

If you have a PhD in ​AMO physics and have worked with neutral atoms or ions, it is very likely that you ​fulfill these requirements. We are happy to get your application!

Why us?

​planqc is a startup founded by experienced researchers in neutral-atom quantum technologies. We have a track record of achievements, including one of the first quantum gas microscopes for neutral atoms, one of the first optical lattice clocks, and novel techniques for scaling our quantum computers to thousands of atoms. We are leveraging this expertise to build a neutral-atom quantum computer based on ultracold alkaline earth metal atoms, employing techniques such as single-site imaging and addressing for qubit control, highly stable lasers for single-qubit operations and fast Rydberg interactions for two-qubit gates.

At planqc, you will experience the best of both academic freedom and project-driven work. You will contribute to building a functional neutral atom quantum computer with the support of our software engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and algorithm teams. Become part of our team and shape the future of quantum computing.
