Join a world-class team of scientists, engineers, and business professionals to advance the state-of-the-art in quantum computing.\nWe are seeking a Quality Control Inspector to help establish the quality function within Atom Computing’s growing manufacturing organization. In this role, you will be responsible for incoming inspection, material and workmanship conformance, nonconformance control, and measurement assurance for precision hardware used in our neutral-atom quantum computers. Working closely with Engineering, you will help develop inspection and release processes, resolve quality issues, and ensure hardware meets established requirements. Your experience and judgment will play an important role in building reliable quality practices as we scale our manufacturing operations.\nResponsibilities\nPerform incoming, first-article, in-process, and final inspections of optical, mechanical, vacuum, and electronic hardware against approved engineering drawings, specifications, and purchasing requirements.\nInspect critical dimensions, optical surface condition, assembly workmanship, and supplier documentation using established acceptance criteria and precision measurement equipment.\nCollaborate with Manufacturing and Quality Engineering to implement and refine in-process inspection points for optical cleaning, bonding, precision assembly, and rework.\nPerform dimensional inspections using precision measurement equipment, including coordinate measuring machines (CMMs), and support the development and improvement of inspection methods.\nMaintain calibration and gauge records, verify equipment calibration status, and identify measurement limitations or concerns.\nIdentify, document, and segregate nonconforming material; coordinate with Engineering on technical disposition and verify approved rework or corrective actions before release.\nWork with Supply Chain and Manufacturing Engineering to investigate supplier defects, address recurring production issues, and verify the implementation and effectiveness of corrective actions.\nVerify inspection completion, configuration identity, and resolution of quality issues at release gates. Maintain traceable quality records and communicate defects and release risks.\nExperience & Education\nBS in Electronic Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering or equivalent relevant quality control and precision-inspection experience.\n5+ years in manufacturing quality, quality engineering, or inspection of precision optical, mechanical, or electronic hardware.\nQualifications\nProficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), optical workmanship requirements, and supplier conformance documentation.\nHands-on experience with dimensional metrology, inspection microscopes, precision gauges, and CMMs for inspecting precision parts and fixtures.\nWorking knowledge of optical cleanliness, bonded-assembly workmanship, vacuum sealing surfaces, and electronic component handling.\nExperience with calibration practices, nonconformance control, root-cause investigations, and verification of corrective actions.\nStrong attention to detail, accurate inspection documentation, and sound judgment in identifying nonconformances and escalating incomplete conformance evidence before hardware release.\nExperience inspecting hardware used in quantum computing, photonics, semiconductor equipment, aerospace, or scientific instrumentation preferred.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3637,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Quantum Computing Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-18T08:24:59Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 5 · green card filings: 2","filings_12m":5,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":2,"median_offered_wage_usd":150357,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-21T05:46:15Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/atom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/atom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-21T14:56:08Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":21279,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-22T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1348},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1348"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fatom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fatom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fatom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/atom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fatom-computing-lead-quality-control-inspector"}]}
