Mechanical Engineer

Logiqal, Inc.
Princeton, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 11/9/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/9/2025
About Us

Logiqal is on a mission to build the first scaled quantum computer, deploying millions of qubits to tackle the world’s most important problems. Our thesis is that you have to build a full scale machine to learn what the actual hard parts are, just like you have to build a full scale rocket before the first launch. We’re looking for a few visionary scientists and engineers to join our team, to move fast and blow stuff up.

Based in Princeton, NJ our founding physics team has decades of combined research experience at leading academic and industry labs including Princeton, Harvard, Yale, MIT and Google Quantum. Our approach is based on neutral atom qubit technology developed in research labs at Princeton by the founding team. Our scalable systems are composed of manufacturable sub-modules, controlled by state-of-the-art CMOS optoelectronics, and designed around a unique computer architecture.

We’re assembling a founding engineering team to help us build the full-stack systems that will power this next leap in computing.

We offer competitive compensation (salary commensurate with experience, meaningful equity, medical/dental benefits), and the chance to shape both the technology and the company from the ground up.

If you’re excited to build something that’s never existed before at the cutting edge of physics and engineering—together with an awesome team with deep technical expertise—come build with us!

About The Position

We are looking for a mechanical engineer to design and build the literal backbone of our quantum processors, translating lab prototypes into manufacturable hardware that can grow to first-of-a-kind, full-scale quantum datacenters. You will start by designing stable platforms for key optical sub-systems, evaluating prototypes for mechanical and thermal performance, and iteratively improving in collaboration with researchers and optical systems engineers. You’ll also be responsible for a range of other projects including vacuum systems, vibration isolation, and precision kinematics. After converging on successful prototypes, you will manage production of modular systems for a datacenter-scale quantum computer.

No knowledge of quantum physics is required (though we’re happy to teach you).
