Neutral-atom quantum computers built on optically trapped atomic arrays
Atom Computing builds quantum computers from arrays of laser-trapped neutral atoms, and its stack spans the full hardware-to-cloud chain: FPGA and ASIC design tools (Verilog, SystemVerilog, Cadence, Synopsys), optics and mechanical CAD (Zemax, SolidWorks), and multi-cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure and GCP. Hiring is accelerating and almost entirely senior and principal engineering, with work centered on control systems, GPU/FPGA orchestration and an FPGA-to-ASIC transition.
Atom Computing is a privately held quantum computing company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Berkeley, California. It develops scalable quantum computers based on arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms. The company employs 51–200 people and hires in the United States. Its engineering spans optics, electronics, embedded firmware, control software and cloud infrastructure needed to build and operate quantum hardware.
Atom Computing uses Python, Rust, C++, Go and TypeScript, CUDA, FPGA tooling (Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL), EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens, Zemax, SolidWorks, Yocto, Terraform, and AWS, Azure and GCP.
Current work includes GPU/FPGA orchestration, high-performance control systems for its quantum platforms, a quantum computing orchestration platform, infrastructure-as-code, and upgrades to existing quantum hardware.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating and overwhelmingly engineering-focused, skewed toward senior and principal roles, with openings based in the United States.
