We are seeking a highly qualifiedLead Systems Engineer - Laser Specialist for ourBroomfield, CO location, to join the team developing a next-generation quantum computer. The ideal candidate will be a systems engineering professional with a background in laser technology, responsible for guiding the laser and beamline subsystem through its entire lifecycle. The role will serve as the systems engineering interface between the system-level design and architecture team and laser and beamline development teams (both internal and externally contracted). Responsibilities will include subsystem requirements management, interface definition, verification and validation planning, creation and management of engineering documentation, and change management. This role will use the candidate’s expertise in designing cohesive laser systems to contribute to and review subsystem designs. Candidates should expect to be immersed in a fast-paced, team-based, and challenging technical environment where an individual with talent and initiative can stand out and thrive.
All applicants for placement in safety-sensitive positions will be required to submit to a pre-employment drug test.
