## Description

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 hands-on Microfabrication Engineer to execute cleanroom operations for novel optoelectronic devices that will power our next-generation quantum computers. Operating primarily out of the COSINC cleanroom at CU Boulder, you will work closely with our Senior Microfabrication Engineer to turn device architectures into physical prototypes by running daily fabrication processes, executing precise metrology, and documenting process parameters in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. Job Responsibilities Cleanroom Operations: Execute daily fabrication steps including thin-film deposition, photolithography, wet/dry etching, and metal lift-off to create novel optoelectronic devices. Metrology & Characterization: Run standard metrology (e.g., profilometry, ellipsometry, microscopy) to characterize film thickness, stress, and etch rates, ensuring process stability. Process Documentation: Document run cards, process parameters, and yield data to help the team rapidly iterate on device designs. Tool Support: Assist in the maintenance, troubleshooting, and qualification of custom or shared cleanroom tooling. Collaboration: Work seamlessly with the fabrication and broader engineering teams to hand off processed wafers for electrical and optical testing. Experience & Education PhD in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or comparable professional experience. 1-4 years of hands-on experience in a semiconductor, MEMS, or photonics cleanroom environment. Qualifications Proficiency with standard microfabrication techniques: spin coating, mask alignment, sputtering/evaporation, and wet/dry etching. High attention to detail and a disciplined approach to process documentation and quality control. Experience working autonomously in a shared academic or foundry cleanroom facility is a strong plus. A proactive, problem-solving mindset and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced startup environment. Capable of lifting and moving objects that weigh up to 25 pounds.
