- 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 QuEra 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
