Atom Computing is hiring a Head of Photonics to start and run its integrated photonics effort. The role sets the company's photonics strategy, chooses material platforms and architectures, and takes development programs from concept to hardware used in neutral-atom quantum computers. The person builds an in-house team covering design, test, and integration, and manages work with foundries and photonics companies. The posting asks for leadership in photonics hardware development and collaboration with physicists and engineers; atomic physics or quantum computing experience is not required. It is on-site in Boulder, Colorado.
