At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will empower customers to achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.
We are seeking an Optical Bonding Technician to perform precision bonding of optical and optomechanical assemblies for neutral-atom quantum computers. This hands-on role prepares surfaces, applies and cures adhesives, and inspects completed bonds using approved procedures and engineer-defined alignment references.
Put your precision craftsmanship to work on the optical assemblies inside a quantum computer. As an early member of Atom's new manufacturing organization, you'll work closely with optical engineers and help refine the bonding practices that future builds will rely on.
Responsibilities
- Verify components, surface condition, approved materials, and current bonding instructions before beginning an assembly.
- Clean and prepare optics and mating surfaces, protecting coatings and preventing contamination or damage during handling.
- Prepare and dispense approved adhesives; maintain material identification, shelf-life controls, and required process records.
- Set up bonding fixtures and position components with optical engineers, preserving the required alignment and bond geometry.
- Execute controlled curing procedures and record specified settings while protecting component position and optical cleanliness.
- Inspect completed bonds for workmanship and visible defects; support post-cure alignment checks and report deviations to Engineering and Quality.
- Maintain component and adhesive traceability, completed work records, and inspection results; perform rework only under approved instructions.
- Maintain clean bonding stations, dispensing tools, fixtures, and material storage; support engineer-led process improvements and follow laboratory and chemical-safety procedures.
Experience & Education
- Four-year degree in science, applied research, or technology or equivalent certificates/industry experience
- 3+ years of hands-on precision optical bonding or closely related adhesive-based microassembly using controlled procedures.
- Experience with optical cleaning, microscope-assisted work, precision dispensing, fixturing, controlled curing, and visual inspection.
- Experience bonding coated optics or optomechanical assemblies for lasers, quantum hardware, or scientific instruments preferred.
Qualifications
- Strong manual precision when handling small optical components, dispensing adhesives, and working with microscopes and assembly fixtures.
- Ability to read assembly drawings and follow bonding instructions, including orientation, protected surfaces, and inspection points.
- Practical knowledge of adhesive handling, shelf-life controls, curing records, and contamination prevention.
- Ability to recognize bond defects, movement, or optical surface damage and report concerns before work continues.
- Accurate process documentation and effective teamwork with optical engineers, process engineers, and Quality.
- Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds
