The company is pioneering the future of quantum computing technology. We are seeking a Laser Systems Engineer to join our Laser Systems Group as the first Japan-based member. This is a full-stack role for an engineer or scientist with a strong background in laser systems and their applications in quantum computing.
The Laser Systems Engineer will primarily support the Gemini–AIST Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) and participate in R&D collaborations with Japanese partners, including projects supported by the Japanese government. This position requires a hands-on engineer who is comfortable working with advanced laser systems, vendor co-development, and integration into state-of-the-art neutral atom QPUs.
Responsibilities
QPU Operational Support and Development
- Serve as the primary local Laser Systems lead for the Gemini–AIST QPU.
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and upgrade high-precision laser systems used in neutral atom platforms.
- Support QPU uptime and integration with broader Quantum Systems infrastructure.
R&D and Vendor Collaboration
- Support joint development projects with Japanese vendors and research institutions, including those under NEDO-funded initiatives.
- Contribute to next-generation laser system architectures, including control systems, and their integration into quantum platforms.
- Collaborate closely with Boston-based Laser Systems and Quantum Systems groups to ensure alignment across global efforts.
Operations and Safety
- Ensure safe operation of Class 4 laser systems in compliance with company and AIST protocols.
- Assist in developing documentation, SOPs, and QA processes for Japanese operations.
Requirements
- Eligible to work in Japan, with >80% of working time based at G-QuAT/AIST (Tsukuba area).
- Ability to lift >20 kg and handle laser hardware.
- Experience operating and maintaining Class 4 laser systems.
- Fluent in English; Japanese proficiency is a plus but not required.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with laser systems relevant to neutral atom QPU (e.g., Ti:Sapphire, SHG, diode lasers, fiber amplifiers).
- Familiarity with frequency stabilization techniques (e.g., PDH locking, spectroscopy, wavemeters).
- Strong skills in documentation and technical communication.
- Background in collaborative R&D and vendor co-development projects.
Why Join the Japan Team?
This is a foundational role in the company's Japan expansion, offering the opportunity to:
- Build the Laser Systems function in Japan from the ground up.
- Work at the intersection of cutting-edge quantum computing and advanced laser technologies.
- Collaborate closely with leading Japanese research institutions and global teams.
