    Job Description

    Vector Atomic is building quantum devices for applications including GPS-free navigation and timing, geophysical exploration, and telecommunications. We are focused on delivering near-term products that take advantage of the exquisite properties of quantum systems. Our devices are designed with the form, fit, function, and cost for the real world.

    Vector Atomic is hiring atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physicists to build ultraprecise quantum devices for applications including autonomous/GPS-free navigation, high-bandwidth satellite communications, and geophysical exploration. In this hands-on role, you'll contribute to the full lifecycle, from conceptual design to deployment. We are seeking strong individual contributors that take ownership of their work while supporting overall team goals.

    Our rapidly growing team of 50 plus brings an innovative but practical approach to developing quantum devices. If you'd like to work on transformational technologies in a dynamic, team-oriented environment, come join our team

    Requirements

    What You'll Do:

    • Prototype and design optical, mechanical, and electrical subsystems
    • Sensor integration, bring-up, and optimization; data analysis
    • Analyze and simulate of atomic sensor performance and environmental sensitivities
    • Deploy and demonstrate prototype sensors into real-world environments

    What We're Looking For:

    • PhD in atomic, optical, quantum physics, or 3 years of related academic or industry experience
    • US export control laws require "U.S. persons" including U.S. citizens (born or naturalized), lawful permanent residents, and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
    • Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.

    Hands-on expertise with several of the following:

    • Atomic clocks and inertial sensors
    • Atomic ovens, beams, and/or vapor cells
    • Laser cooling and trapping
    • Precision spectroscopy
    • Ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems
    • Narrow linewidth lasers and laser frequency stabilization
    • Optics, fiber optics, electro/acousto-optics, detectors
    • Analog, digital, and RF electronics
    • Control systems and instrumentation
    • Mechanical design

    Benefits

    Vector Atomic values teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We are an employee-owned company with competitive compensation and benefits including:

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