About the role

Atom Computing is seeking a Senior Optical Assembly & Alignment Engineer to build optical breadboards and laser-delivery assemblies for neutral-atom quantum computers. You will establish beam paths, align components, and verify performance at the subsystem level, delivering assemblies with documented alignment records. The role requires 7+ years in optical assembly and alignment, with experience in controlled layouts and measurement repeatability.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
