The posting

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 a Senior Silicon Systems Engineer to bridge the gap between custom silicon and highly complex hardware integration within Atom’s research and product development programs. This role would be responsible for defining system requirements, architecture design, and system level testing across the chip, PCBs, and auxiliary hardware subsystems.

The ideal candidate can translate requirements into a coherent system architecture and has experience applying systems engineering best practices to emerging technologies.

Job Responsibilities

  • Develop and document system architecture, including subsystem interactions
  • Produce system-level design documentation and interface control documents (ICDs), including the chip–PCB–controller boundaries
  • Lead chip-level system specs with ASIC designers, analyzing trade-offs across silicon, PCB, and software
  • Develop specifications for ASICs, PCBs, controllers, and supporting hardware based on research goals maintaining clear traceability to system-level requirements.
  • Work with engineers to translate measured performance, limitations, and operational experience into requirements for PCBs, controllers, RF/analog electronics, and auxiliary hardware.
  • Manage change control processes for evolving architectures and requirements.
  • Identify, quantify, and track technical risks, opportunities, and mitigations
  • Engage in ASIC architectural reviews and tape-out readiness milestones, evaluating system-level implications of engineering modifications alongside silicon risks including respins, IP integration, and schedule impact.
  • Link pre-silicon verification coverage and post-silicon bring-up and characterization results back to system-level requirements
  • Plan system-level integration of the ASIC into PCBs and auxiliary hardware, including bring-up sequencing
  • Act as technical liaison between Theory, Quantum Engineering, Hardware, Software, Controls, ASIC Design and Verification, and Optical Engineering
  • Support customer interactions, including government program reviews, technical interchange meetings, and milestone reporting.

Experience & Education

  • BS or higher in Systems Engineering, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Optical Engineering or a related field
  • 5+ years of systems engineering experience in complex, multidisciplinary R&D or production environments (quantum, aerospace, defense, advanced computing, or similar)

Required Qualifications

  • Proven ability to lead requirements development, interface control, and V&V planning across engineering and science disciplines
  • Experience with system architecture, requirements management tools, and configuration management systems
  • Demonstrated experience with risk management frameworks
  • Experience with silicon integration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced degree (MS or PhD) in engineering, physics, or a related discipline
  • Familiarity with quantum computing, atomic and optical (AMO) physics, or control system integration
  • Experience preparing and presenting SRR/PDR/CDR artifacts
  • Experience supporting government-funded research or procurement programs (DoD, DoE, DoC)

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance. We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day!

The base salary range for this position is between $140,000 - $160,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
