Fathom Radiant: Opto-Mechanical Engineer (Lens Stack)

About usWe are searching for talented individuals who are driven to tackle the most ambitious goal of our time building the computer hardware that enables the development of safe artificial general intelligence.See more at fathomradiant.Co/aboutusIn our people, we above all value kindness, a scout mindset, a focus on improvement, and prioritising to get the right things done.

We aim to help build one of the most transformative technologies in the world, with massive social and ethical implications.

We think this makes representation even more important, and we are actively striving to have a range of diverse perspectives on our team.This roleFathom Radiant is looking for a mechanical engineer who can lead and contribute to the development of our high-precision optical system.

The ideal candidate will have experience designing optical components in a multidisciplinary environment, understanding how to evaluate tradeoffs between manufacturability, cost, thermal, mechanical, electrical and optical performance and reliability.

At Fathom Radiant, you will work closely with teams of mechanical engineers, packaging engineers, optical lens designers and optoelectronic device designers.

You will lead the effort from concept through manufacturing.Areas of ContributionWork closely with Fathom Radiant’s various technical teams to enable unique and novel optoelectronic-electronic integrated systemsLead requirements definition, design, simulation and prototyping of the optical components for Fathom’s optical-electronic computer system, with components ranging from micro-optics mounts to micro-positioning systems to precision connectors.Design for environmental robustness (NVH, thermal, etc.) and reliabilityPrototype mechanical components and systems, analyze optical stability and performance in operationAnalyze mechanical tolerance impact on optical performance at the component and system levelWork closely with manufacturing partners to understand constraints and capabilities of manufacturing and automated assembly; design for manufacturingTransition prototype designs to volume manufacturingRequirements for this roleB.S., MS, or PhD in physics, mechanical engineering, or equivalent knowledge.Minimum 3 years experience in opto-mechanical engineering.Experience with precision mechanism design and assembly, error budgeting/tolerance stackup, GD& T and design for manufacturing and assembly.Nice-to-havesExperience designing opto-mechanical systems for imaging systemsExperience with micro-opticsExperience with systems that combine lenslets with traditional lensesFamiliarity or experience with wavefront measurement metrologyExperience with optical ray tracing software (Zemax, Code V, etc.)Experience leading and managing engineering projectsExperience working with and managing contract manufacturers for component manufacturing and system assemblyYou’ll do well here if…You’re motivated to build something that hasn’t been built beforeYou’re kind, enjoy thoughtful discussions fueled by problem-solving and logic, and care about our mission to positively influence the trajectory of artificial intelligenceYou find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering and defining problems as much as solving them.You deliver.

You may enjoy thoughtful conversations about problems and perfecting designs, but in the end, you know that what matters is delivering a manufacturable solution that works every time.You are a cross-disciplinary team member.

You are excited to work with and learn from software, mechanical, electrical, and optics engineers.

You are comfortable communicating across teams.Indicative salary range for this role (multiple openings): $100,000 $150,000If this sounds like you, we invite you to apply to come join us in our office in Boulder, CO.

For all roles, we target market salaries, with an additional benefits package.
