Full job description

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms. Our mission is to commercialise atom-based quantum products that provide orders of magnitude improvements in performance and computing applications.

LOCATION

Infleqtion has offices in the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. This is a full-time position split between our Kidlington, Oxford office and the National Quantum Computing Centre, Harwell. Work from home permitted up to 2 days per week based on business needs and manager approval.

POSITION SUMMARY

Our team seeks an experienced optical engineer with a background in optical design, analysis and integration. As a senior optical engineer, you will be exposed to a wide range of optical design challenges, working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry to translate experimental concepts and requirements into engineered solutions. As a team we encourage a proactive hands-on approach, giving our engineers the opportunity to research, design, build and test optical systems in a diverse and collaborative environment.

The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change, or new ones may be assigned.

Collaboration with physicists, opto-mechanical, mechanical, electrical and software engineers to lead the development of optical systems for quantum sensing and computing
From source to atom: Lead and execute the process from requirements and design to assembly and test for optical systems spanning laser distribution, modulation, delivery and imaging.
Work at the component level up through to large sub-systems containing hundreds of precisely aligned optical elements.
Optimise, analyse and tolerance optical designs using computational methods.
Use simulation tools to guide design decisions and communicate findings to project leaders both verbally and through design documentation.
Lead the design review process for optical systems.
