Total 2 job vacancies by Atomionics Pte. Ltd.

Physicists have been at the forefront of some of the most important inventions of all time. These inventions have formed the basis of transition toward an improvement in quality of life. Atomionics is at that juncture and ready to revolutionize the domains of resource exploration and navigation. Our quantum sensors are based on cold atom interferometry and can measure gravity, acceleration, and rotation with high accuracy, precision, and sensitivity. The challenge? Making it work in a dynamic environment to enable real world applications that would extend the benefits of the energy industry to the next billion people.

We are looking for a cold atom physicist who:

1. Wants to be involved in research while gracefully maneuvering through the technical constraints of field deployment
2. Is excited by the prospect of working within an interdisciplinary team comprised of electronics engineers, mechanical engineers, and software engineers
3. Would like to own their work via compelling equity offerings

We are a focused group in a high-energy environment. Our team consists of people at the top of their domains with a diverse set of experience, such as in advanced rocket engines, the first digital cameras, and high resolution microscopes, apart from cold atom physics. In addition, we are backed by some fantastic investors from the private and public sectors, such as Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, and other prominent angels.

Responsibilities

• Design and development of atom interferometry based sensors
• Work in collaboration with electronics engineers and mechanical engineers to develop the system
• Research on the improvement and miniaturization of atom interferometry based sensors
• Write patents

Must have skills

• PhD in Physics, with research experience in cold atom physics
• Proficient in experimental work
• Ability to work independently and in a team
• Fluency in spoken and written English

Nice to have skills

• Prior experience in atom interferometry
• Built atom interferometry based gravimeter, accelerometer, or gyroscope
• Built near-IR lasers, laser locking system, and RF electronics
• Experience in theoretical simulation of atomic systems
• Developed control systems using FPGA

Are you interested in joining a team that is revolutionizing the resource exploration and navigation industry? Atomionics is developing quantum sensors using cold atom interferometry, where atoms are cooled to nearly absolute zero using lasers. At such extreme temperatures, these atoms behave like waves, enabling precise measurement of forces acting on them.

This technology has vast potential applications, including advancing the zero-carbon energy transition, enhancing the performance of inertial navigation systems, and revolutionizing the global positioning system. At Atomionics, you will have the opportunity to design, prototype, test, refine and manufacture Quantum Gravity Sensors. You will develop solutions to improve the performance of our sensor, while also making it compact and robust for field deployment on projects around the world.

Atomionics is backed by some outstanding investors across private and public sectors, such as Wavemaker, SGInnovate, Cap Vista, 500 Startups, and other notable angels.

Responsibilities

• Work in collaboration with electronics and atomic physicists to develop the system architecture to ensure robustness and reliability in a dynamic environment of atom interferometry sensing systems
• Design the housing and packaging for miniaturized atom interferometry setup
• CAD models for precision manufacturing and fabrication of optomechanical benches
• Structural analysis and characterization to ensure robustness in harsh environment

About you

• An absolutely driven individual with creative problem solving skills, analytical mind, and persistence, ideally, demonstrated
• Experience using Solidworks/Autodesk/other CAD software
• Experience in different manufacturing techniques

Even better if you have

• Worked in a technical student team, or an early stage company environment
• Worked on personal hobby projects (and can brag about them!)

What can we offer you

• A chance to learn about the intricacies of deep tech research, product development, and strategy in a high-growth startup
• Work on the cutting edge of quantum technology
• Develop robust applications for translational research
• A book/hobby project allowance to help you grow and collectively build the Atomionics library
• Board games and curry night

Only open to candidates residing in Singapore. Minimum duration of 3 months, preferably 6 months.
