Principal ASIC Design Engineer

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. Atom Computing is seeking a Principal ASIC Designer to lead the development of critical technologies that power our neutral-atom quantum computers. In this role, you will own the end-to-end design strategy—from requirements definition through silicon bring-up—while driving critical trade-off decisions across performance, power, area, and system integration. As our first ASIC hire, you will provide strategic guidance to executive stakeholders, shaping our long-term silicon roadmap and defining our internal design methodologies. This position requires deep expertise in mixed-signal ASIC development and a "systems-first" mindset. Reporting to the Hardware Engineering Manager, you’ll collaborate with a world-class group of physicists and engineers to translate quantum gate requirements into production-ready silicon. This position may be based in Boulder, CO, or Austin, TX.
