Full job description
Senior Optical Engineer
The Hardware Engineering Group at QuEra Computing is seeking strong candidates for a Senior Optical Engineer to serve as a senior individual contributor to the company’s mission of building state-of-the-art, manufacturable, and deployable neutral atom quantum computers. The Hardware Engineering Group plays a crucial role in accelerating the company’s technology leadership and translating the company’s scientific breakthroughs into products delivered to customers. To accomplish this mission, we are looking to hire a candidate with graduate-level education in optics, optical engineering, or applied physics with industry experience in an enterprise engineering environment. The ideal candidate will combine a deep, fundamental understanding of several areas of optics, design, and engineering. Although candidates with a Ph.D. in physics may be considered, applicants should ensure they have sufficient professional experience beyond academia in an enterprise engineering environment to establish themselves independently as a senior-level engineer.
Key Job Responsibilities
Work with physicists to understand requirements and architect optical systems, sub-systems, modules, and components to support QuEra’s neutral atom computers through the full development lifecycle (R&D, productization, maintenance, and beyond).
Advance state-of-the-art engineering practices at QuEra through independent research, problem-solving, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Coordinate closely with the R&D/science team to enable cutting-edge R&D and translate scientific advances into the next generation of products.
Troubleshoot technical issues at company headquarters and off-site installations at customer locations (in coordination with local support team).
Qualifications
B.S. in optics, optical engineering, applied physics, or a closely related field (Ph.D. or M.S. preferred).
5-8 years work experience designing optical and opto-mechanical systems in a non-academic (industry, national lab, FFRDC or similar) environment with enterprise engineering practices.
Excellent system-level design skills including Zemax simulation skills, COMSOL simulation skills, and CAD design skills, etc.
Experience leading the design of scientific instruments and apparatuses and bringing complex optical systems from concept to production.
We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
QuEra is committed to cultivating a diverse work environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We highly value diversity in our current and future employees and do not discriminate (including in our hiring and promotion practices) based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

Quantum computing is moving from "one day" to "day one." QuEra Computing is leading that transition.
Founded in 2018 on breakthrough research from Harvard and MIT, QuEra builds neutral-atom quantum computers using a unique multi-zone architecture. The result: reconfigurable qubit connectivity, room-temperature operation, and a scalable path to fault-tolerant quantum computing, with dozens logical qubits already demonstrated.
QuEra systems are operational today. The company delivered a 260-qubit quantum computer to Japan's AIST integrated with one of the world's most powerful supercomputers, earned selection for DARPA's Quantum Benchmarks Initiative, and offers its Aquila quantum computer on Amazon Braket. Its Gemini gate-based system extends these capabilities for enterprise and research applications.
Backed by $230M from Google, NVIDIA, SoftBank, and others, QuEra partners with Dell Technologies, NVIDIA, Deloitte, and a 29-member Quantum Alliance. Headquartered in Boston with operations in Japan and the UK. Visit quera.com to learn more.
