Responsibilities

Systems engineer for the lasers subsystem of a trapped-ion quantum computer based on a quantum charge coupled device architecture. This subsystem includes laser sources, control electronics, servos, modulators, and frequency doubling components

Develop, define, and manage subsystem requirements, specifications, and engineering documentation, with a focus on developing “right size” solutions to system development needs, appropriate for the maturity of the technology

Act as a consultant to laser and beamline contractors and/or internal development teams as they derive detailed subassembly requirements from higher level requirements. You will ensure that requirements are understood, mutually compatible, and well-formed

Develop, publish, and maintain system engineering artifacts for subsystem verification and validation, including risk assessment and mitigation strategies

Develop, publish, and maintain documentation of the laser and beamline subsystem’s interfaces to and interactions with other elements of the quantum computing system

You will be responsible for ensuring gate review entry criteria are complete, updated, and accessible. For internally-designed subassemblies, you will be responsible for organizing and holding gate reviews

Guide technical decisions throughout the product lifecycle, including design, implementation, test and integration, ensuring on-time delivery of laser subsystems

Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring clear understanding and buy-in
