Vector Atomic, an IonQ company, is building quantum technology to transform navigation, timing, geophysical exploration, and telecommunications. Our team of engineers, scientists, software developers, and operations professionals works together to solve complex challenges and turn bold ideas into real-world solutions. We value collaboration, curiosity, and diverse perspectives, and we give every team member the opportunity to make an immediate impact while growing their skills. If you’re excited to work on breakthrough technology in a fast-paced, hands-on environment, we’d love to hear from you.

We are actively seeking versatile R&D Engineers to build ultra-precise quantum devices for autonomous/GPS-free navigation, high-bandwidth satellite communications, and geophysical exploration. This is a jack-of-all-trades role demanding a skilled and flexible engineer ready to thrive in a dynamic R&D environment. While the ideal candidate will possess a strong subset of the required skills, a willingness and capability to rapidly learn new ones are crucial.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

Build and test optical, electrical, or vacuum systems
Systems integration of electronics controller with sensors
Set-up test equipment; automate data collection

What We're Looking For:

Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or related field plus 2-5 years relevant work experience.
To comply with the US export control laws, Vector Atomic employees must be U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful U.S. permanent residents (i.e. green card holders), and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.

Hands-on experience with several of the following:

Lasers and optics, electronics, and/or vacuum systems in an R&D environment
Laser and optical system prototyping
Electronic test instrumentation such including oscilloscopes, pulse generators, power supplies and voltmeters
Experience designing, building, and working with electromechanical assemblies.
System integration, bring-up, and debugging
Basic bring-up of PCB boards
Electromechanical design of custom/semi-custom enclosures for electronic assemblies that address issues of shielding, grounding and thermal constraints
Design and build of custom cabling and interface boards
Computer-aided design
Basic machining skill

Benefits

Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We offer competitive compensation and benefits including:

Platinum-level family health coverage (medical, dental, vision)
Health and dependent care Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA)
Employer 401(k) contributions
