Job Description

About MesaQuantum :

Mesa Quantum is building the manufacturing backbone of the quantum economy. We specialize

in chip-scale quantum devices—starting with clocks and sensors—that unlock resilient Position,

Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. Our team combines world-class expertise in AMO

physics, photonics, microfabrication, and engineering to transform breakthrough science into

scalable and deployable technology. Backed by top-tier deep-tech investors and the U.S.

Department of Defense, Mesa Quantum is rapidly scaling and actively recruiting exceptional

innovators who want to build the future of quantum technology from the ground up.

The Role :

We're seeking a hands-on Hardware / Embedded Systems Engineer to join our Boulder-based

team. You'll be instrumental in the development, integration, and optimization of our precision

timing technology, working at the intersection of analog electronics, embedded systems, and

quantum physics applications. This role is focused primarily on quantum timing technologies.

Key Responsibilities :

  • Design and debug precision analog circuits for our atomic clock systems, including front-

end sensing and control circuitry

  • Develop, test, and optimize PCB designs with attention to signal integrity, noise
  • immunity, and thermal considerations

  • Implement embedded firmware for microcontroller-based systems that interface with our
  • quantum sensing elements

  • Create and maintain robust PID control loops and other feedback systems for atomic
  • resonance stabilization

  • Develop and execute comprehensive test protocols for characterizing system performance
  • Design and build test fixtures and automation systems to streamline development and
  • quality assurance

  • Use Python for test automation, data analysis, and visualization of system performance
  • metrics

  • Collaborate across disciplines with our physics, optics, and RF specialists to solve
  • complex integration challenges

  • Contribute to DFM (Design for Manufacturability) improvements as we scale toward
  • volume production

    Required Skills & Experience :

  • Strong foundation in analog circuit design with experience in signal conditioning,
  • amplification, and filtering

  • Practical experience with PCB design, layout, and debugging techniques
  • Proficiency in embedded systems programming (C / C++) and microcontroller platforms
  • Hands-on experience with laboratory equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers,
  • network analyzers)

  • Working knowledge of version control systems (Git) for both hardware and software
  • development

  • Ability to simulate electronic circuits using SPICE or similar tools
  • Python programming skills for test automation and data analysis
  • Proven problem-solving abilities in complex multi-disciplinary systems
  • Desired (But Not Required) :

  • Experience with RF systems in the GHz range and high-frequency circuit design
  • Knowledge of optoelectronics, photodetectors, or laser control systems
  • Familiarity with precision timing, frequency synthesis, or phase-locked loops
  • Experience designing systems with strict power and thermal constraints
  • Background in test system development and measurement automation
  • Experience bringing products from prototype to volume manufacturing
  • Exposure to quantum physics applications or atomic physics principles
  • Experience with flexible circuits or advanced PCB manufacturing techniques
  • What We Offer :

  • Competitive salary (TBD based on experience)
  • Equity options in a cutting-edge quantum technology startup
  • Opportunity to work on technology that bridges quantum physics and commercial
  • applications

  • Diverse, inclusive workplace with team members from multiple countries and
  • backgrounds

  • Chance to grow professionally as our company scales
  • Boulder location with access to Colorado's vibrant tech and outdoor communities
  • About You :

    You're a practical engineer who thrives when solving real-world challenges. You have

    experience bringing electronic designs from concept to reality and can navigate the complexities

    of integrating various subsystems. While you have depth in analog and embedded systems,

    you're comfortable learning across disciplines. You're collaborative, resourceful, and excited by

    the prospect of creating technology that will eventually reach volume production. Most

    importantly, you're a clear communicator who works well in a diverse, fast-paced startup

    environment.
