## Job description

At Atom Computing, we build quantum computers using arrays of optically trapped neutral atoms that will achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs. Join an incredible team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state of the art in quantum technologies that will transform computing performance. The Facilities Technician supports the daily operations, maintenance, and safety of the organization’s physical workspace while also managing shipping and receiving activities. This role ensures the facility is functional, efficient, and well-maintained, and that all incoming and outgoing materials are handled accurately and on time. The ideal candidate is hands-on, organized, and comfortable balancing facilities tasks with logistics duties.

Facilities Responsibilities

- Perform routine and preventive maintenance on building systems, including plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems.
- Troubleshoot issues and complete repairs using sound judgment, technical skill, and personal initiative.
- Execute and manage technically complex projects with minimal supervision.
- Conduct regular facility inspections to identify safety hazards, maintenance needs, and improvement opportunities.
- Assist in scheduling, escorting, and overseeing contractors performing facility repairs or projects.
- Assist with office moves, equipment installations, furniture assembly, and workspace reconfigurations.
- Maintain tools, equipment, and maintenance areas in clean, safe working condition.
- Follow and promote workplace safety procedures, including lockout/tagout, PPE use, and hazard reporting.
- Support compliance with OSHA, fire code, and internal safety policies.
- Participate in emergency preparedness activities, including equipment checks and safety drills.

Shipping & Receiving Responsibilities

- Receive, inspect, and verify incoming shipments against packing slips and purchase orders.
- Log, label, and distribute incoming materials, mail, and packages to appropriate departments.
- Prepare outgoing shipments, including packaging, labeling, documentation, and scheduling carrier pickups.
- Keep loading dock and storage areas clean, organized, and compliant with safety standards.
- Coordinate with carriers, vendors, and internal teams to resolve delivery discrepancies or delays.

## Experience and Education

- Bachelor’s degree in business or Facilities Management, a plus but not required.
- 3+ years working knowledge of facility operations, maintenance, construction projects and real estate/lease administration
- Experience in facilities maintenance, warehouse operations, or a related field preferred.

## Qualifications

- Knowledge of general maintenance procedures and basic proficiency in plumbing, carpentry, HVAC, electrical, and mechanical systems.
- Basic mechanical aptitude and comfort using a wide range of hand and power tools.
- Ability to perform and manage technically complex projects using independent judgment and initiative.
- Strong understanding of workplace safety procedures.
- Physical ability to stand, lift, bend, and climb for extended periods; ability to lift 50+ lbs.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills.
- Familiarity with shipping systems (UPS, FedEx, USPS) is a plus.

Atom Computing provides a wide variety of perks and benefits, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance for our employees and their dependents. Additionally, unlimited paid time off, 401K company matching, short- and long-term disability, FSA, dependent care benefits, and life insurance.  We also offer drinks, snacks, and catered team lunches in our offices, every day! The base salary range for this position is between $75,000 - $100,000, commensurate with experience. In addition to salary, we offer an annual bonus and equity in the company.

## About Atom Computing

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Atom Computing builds large-scale, gate-based quantum computers using arrays of optically-trapped neutral atoms to help companies and researchers achieve unprecedented computational breakthroughs.
- **Entity Type**: Private (funded; $60M Series B closed January 2022, ~$191.2M total funding across 12 rounds)
- **Headquarters**: Berkeley, California, United States
- **Founded**: January 2018
- **Founders**: Ben Bloom (Founder & CTO), Jonathan King (Co-Founder & Chief Scientist); Rob Hays serves as CEO & President

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Quantum computing / quantum hardware and software
- **Target customers**: B2B; enterprise researchers, commercial quantum algorithm developers, national labs, and scientific institutions seeking on-premises quantum systems
- **Mission or purpose**: Building large-scale quantum computers to enable breakthrough discoveries and tackle increasingly challenging applications, with a clear path to fault tolerance.

## Products & Services
- **[AC1000 — Quantum Computing Platform]**: A universal, gate-based quantum computer commercially available for on-premises deployment. Features 1,200+ physical qubits, all-to-all qubit connectivity, better-than-threshold fidelities, mid-circuit measurement with qubit reuse/reset, and real-time conditional branching — designed to support building logical qubits.
- **[Partner Program]**: Early-access collaboration program for software and application development partners to explore quantum algorithms, provide feedback, and work alongside Atom Computing's technical team on real-world applications.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of ~$191.2M across 12 rounds (as of 2026); latest reported annual revenue ~$5.3M
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Third Point Ventures (led Series B), Innovation Endeavors, Prelude Ventures, National Science Foundation (grants)
- **Growth Signals**:
  - Headcount grew ~63.6% YoY to 98 employees (2026), with +2.4% monthly growth
  - 31 active job postings; job postings up +520% year-over-year and +93.8% quarter-over-quarter
  - Expanded to offices in Berkeley, Boulder, and Austin; workforce distributed across United States and Denmark
  - 24 scholarly works with ~9,800+ citations; field-weighted citation impact of 3.7; 67% open access
  - Published industry-leading coherence times (>40s) on nuclear spin qubits in Nature Communications

## Competitive Advantages
- **Massive scalability**: Neutral-atom qubits are held microns apart by focused lasers, have no electrical charge, and can be tightly packed into arrays scaling to thousands or millions of qubits without a substantial increase in system footprint
- **Long coherence**: Use of alkaline-earth metal atoms with closed outer electron shells delivers industry-leading coherence times and insensitivity to environmental noise
- **Reduced complexity**: All qubit control is mediated by light through free space rather than individual electrical cables per qubit — a simpler path to scale
- **High fidelity**: Neutral atoms are intrinsically identical and present no fundamental physics obstacles to reaching fault-tolerant thresholds
- **Advanced technical capabilities**: First-mover positioning with mid-circuit measurement, qubit reuse/reset, and real-time conditional branching on a 1,200+ qubit commercial system

## Strategic Focus
- Advancing toward fault-tolerant quantum computing and logical qubits
