Want to be a key part of shaping the quantum future? At Lace Lithography we are looking for a Junior Atomic Optics physicist to join the Design & Simulations team in Barcelona. At Lace, we focus on producing a revolutionary chip lithography technology that will dramatically improve chip performance.

Your job:

You will be the junior technical contributor for the simulations and design team. This includes being hands-on in solving calculations relevant to our system, and helping the rest of the team in setting up the designs and experiments for our instruments.

Concretely, we expect you to:

• Perform theoretical calculations for relevant engineering components of our system.
• Code, run and iterate on numerical solvers relevant to the theoretical calculations
• Code & evaluate atom optics simulations that reflect the interactions between neutral atoms and diffraction masks
• Code & evaluate atom beam simulations relevant to metastable atom beams
• Help design experiments and experimental devices
• Stay on top of the state of the art in the field and quickly implement methods published in academic papers

Qualifications/Experience:

• Broad understanding of physics at an undergraduate level - including all fields relevant to the standard physics curriculum
• Good understanding of Optics
• BsC or MsC in a relevant field of physics/mathematics
• Demonstrated coding skills (you will be asked to produce examples of your code)
• Knowledge of python or other simulation programming languages/environments such as OpenFOAM, Matlab, Julia etc
  

Benefits:
We offer a competitive compensation package including stock incentives. In addition, we offer:

• Industry competitive salary
• Your preferred work station
• Pension plan, work insurance and travel insurance
