Hardware & Firmware Engineering Manager bei Atomcomputing

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. Atom Computing is seeking a Hardware & Firmware Engineering Manager to lead the development of critical technologies that power our quantum computers. In this role, you’ll guide a team working on innovative, greenfield projects that demand deep expertise in computer architecture, firmware design, and hardware systems — along with the creativity to push beyond the state of the art. We’re looking for candidates with at least 7 years of experience spanning software and hardware engineering, including prior leadership responsibilities. Reporting to the Director of Control Systems & Software, you’ll collaborate closely with a talented group of engineers and physicists to shape the future of computing. Candidates will be considered for Atom's locations in Boulder, CO or Austin, TX or Berkeley, CA.  Under exceptional circumstances we may allow the position to be fully remote.

Lead and mentor a team of 4 to 8 hardware and firmware engineers.

Recruit, hire, and retain top engineering talent.

Manage the product roadmap and subsystem delivery schedules for both commercial and research projects. 

Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to define feature requirements and roadmaps for quantum controls systems.

Work closely with Atom Computing’s quantum physicists, optical engineers, and hardware engineers to understand use cases and deliver software that addresses the needs. 

Experience & Education

MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or related field.

5+ years of post-degree experience as a hardware engineer. 

2+ years of managing a team of engineers,  including hiring, coaching and performance management.

Qualifications

Demonstrated ability to lead a team in delivering on complex hardware projects.

Proficiency with RTL (SystemVerilog preferred, VHDL acceptable)

Expertise in FPGA, microprocessor, and related digital circuit design and functions

Experience with Xilinx Vivado and Zynq SoCs

RF electronics / software-defined radio experience are pluses.

Analog electronics design experience is a plus.

Temperamentally suited to work at a fast-growing, early-stage startup: self-motivated, humble, driven, collaborative, and with a high tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty.

Willingness to learn atomic, optical, laser physics, and quantum mechanics concepts as required to put work in context.
