Designs and develops precision opto-mechanical subsystems for scalable quantum computing hardware. Responsibilities include optical and mechanical integration, simulations, tolerance and thermal analysis, laboratory assembly, optical stability characterization, root-cause investigations, documentation, and design-for-manufacturing. The engineer collaborates with physicists and multidisciplinary engineering teams to transition research prototypes into repeatable, maintainable products.

Designs, models, integrates, and validates precision opto-mechanical subsystems for scalable neutral-atom quantum computing hardware. Responsibilities include tolerance and error budgets, FEA, thermal and vibration analysis, laboratory characterization, design-for-manufacturing, root-cause investigations, and transitioning research-grade systems into repeatable production hardware. Collaborates with physicists and multidisciplinary engineering teams while providing technical leadership and mentoring to developing engineers.

Own design, modeling, and validation of complex laser-based optical subsystems for neutral-atom quantum computing. Integrate atom-addressing technologies (DMD, SLM, AOD, EOM), design atom-resolved detection with SPAD/EMCCD/sCMOS and photodetectors, perform hands-on alignment and characterization, develop high-fidelity Zemax models, collaborate cross-discipline, transition research setups to scalable hardware, and mentor optical engineers.

Design, implement, and validate complex optical and laser-based subsystems for neutral-atom quantum computing. Lead hands-on lab work, optical alignment, modeling in Zemax, Python automation, and integration of modulators (SLMs, AODs, EOMs). Collaborate cross-disciplinarily to transition research optics to scalable, commercial hardware and mentor junior engineers.

Lead staffing, resource planning, and execution for multidisciplinary engineering teams in Quantum Sensing Solutions. Drive technical hiring, resolve cross-program resource conflicts, develop engineering performance metrics, build scalable organizational structures, and partner with program and business leaders to align capacity and priorities across program lifecycles.

Design, deploy, and maintain Microsoft Azure and hybrid on-premises infrastructure. Manage Windows Server workloads, hybrid identity (Entra/AD), Azure networking, Azure SQL, Batch, backup, monitoring, automation (PowerShell), migrations, disaster recovery, and infrastructure documentation while partnering with IT leadership.

Design, implement, test, and maintain high-performance embedded software that orchestrates computation across CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and quantum systems. Optimize latency, throughput, and reliability; integrate drivers, runtimes, and networking; build benchmarks, tooling, and observability; troubleshoot across hardware/software layers; mentor engineers and prototype new technologies to enable scalable quantum-classical computing.

Seeking a Software Engineer with expertise in Rust and embedded systems to develop high-performance systems, collaborate across teams, and maintain technical documentation.

Lead Advanced Systems capture function for Quantum Sensing Solutions: build and manage ASM capture team, drive gated capture process, develop capture strategy, oversee proposal development and negotiations, manage capture pipeline and forecasts, ensure BD-to-execution handoffs, and partner with cross-functional stakeholders to win and transition strategic national security and commercial opportunities.

Lead and manage multiple hardware development subcontracts for Quantum Sensing Solutions: integrate supplier activities into program schedules, monitor cost/schedule/technical/quality performance, negotiate and manage contracts, assess and mitigate risks, track budgets and EACs, coordinate cross-functional teams, and communicate status to leadership and customers while ensuring compliance with government and regulatory requirements.
