Want to be a key part of shaping the quantum future? We are looking for a Senior 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 senior technical contributor for the simulations and design team. This includes liaising with the team lead in defining the technical roadmap of the team, and being the main hands-on contributor for all physics-related calculations in the company.
Your role: Lead 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
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
Actively liaison with the rest of the Simulations and Design team in order to keep all physics-related code sound and consistent with experimental results
