Such experience must include a subset of the following: precision spectroscopy, vapor cell technology, optomechanical and optoelectrical systems engineering, frequency-stable lasers, ultra-stable cavities, optical frequency combs, atomic and optical laser stabilization, analog and digital electronics, advanced programming (Python, C/C++) and signal processing, high proficiency in engineering design (Solid Works) and simulation (ANSYS).
Excellent cross-disciplinary communication, documentation, and time management
Desired technical skills:
Cold atoms
Advanced vapor cell engineering
Integrated photonics
RF test and measurement
Qualifications:
PhD in atomic, optical, quantum physics, applied physics and engineering, or similar;
US citizens or green card holders may be given priority due to export controls
Company Benefits:
Paid Time Off Program
Paid Holidays
Medical, Dental and Vision Benefits
Health Savings Account benefits
Company paid Life Insurance, STD, and LTD
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.
