The posting

Quantum-Art is a full-stack quantum computing company developing state-of-the-art quantum computing systems based on trapped-ion technology, encompassing both hardware and software. Our platforms integrate precision laser delivery, ultra-stable opto-mechanical assemblies, ion-trap hardware, and quantum-grade vacuum systems. We are expanding our opto-mechanical team and seek an engineer with strong opto-mechanical design capabilities to help build high-performance beam delivery and optical subsystems.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing and implementing free-space optical setups with a major focus on robust, stable, and tightly engineered opto-mechanical solutions. You will translate optical requirements into mechanical designs that minimize drift, ensure long-term alignment stability, and integrate seamlessly into compact quantum system architectures.

Responsibilities

  • Lead the opto-mechanical design of optical modules, including mounts, sub-assemblies, mechanical interfaces, compact beam-delivery modules, and vacuum-compatible components.
  • Develop stable free-space optical layouts (beam shaping, splitting, polarization management, mode-matching, fiber coupling).
  • Create detailed mechanical drawings, tolerancing analyses, and assembly documentation.
  • Perform optical and mechanical simulations (Gaussian beam propagation, thermal and vibration sensitivity, mechanical stiffness, etc.).
  • Own the assembly, alignment, and characterization of optical modules.
  • Work closely with mechanical, systems, and quantum-hardware teams to ensure seamless integration into vacuum systems and ion-trap environments.
  • Support transition from R&D prototypes to manufacturable, production-ready sub-systems.

Requirements

  • B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Proven experience of complex systems full cycle design.
  • Hands-on experience designing opto-mechanical assemblies: mounts, flexures, alignment stages, beam delivery modules, precision optical packaging, and accurate mechanism.
  • Hands-on experience in building, aligning and testing optical and opto-mechanical setups and assemblies.
  • Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks) and familiarity with mechanical tolerancing.
  • Ability to generate clear documentation: assembly drawings, alignment procedures, test reports.
  • Familiarity with vibration isolation, thermal management, and long-term alignment stability design principles.
  • Team-oriented mindset and excellent communication skills.

Highly Advantageous

  • Master in Mechanical Engineering/Electro-Optical Engineering, Physics or related field (Ph.D. a plus)
  • Strong experience in free-space optical alignment, beam shaping, polarization control, and general optical lab practices.
  • Background with ultra-stable optical systems (e.g., frequency-stabilized lasers, low-drift platforms).
  • Understanding of Gaussian optics, stability analysis, and opto-mechanical coupling.
  • Experience with integrating optics into UHV chambers or compact instrumentation.
  • Experience with AMO/quantum-optics systems.

General

  • We are located at the Science Park, close to the Weizmann institute of science.
  • Full collaboration with the experimental & theoretical groups at the Weizmann Institute

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.
