MesaQuantum is a venture-backed startup developing chip-scale quantum sensors for advanced position, navigation, and timing applications. We believe in a future where chip-scale quantum sensors will be a critical component in a variety of products that include IoT sensors, consumer electronics, and even autonomous vehicles in the air, sea, and ground.
We are building a team of quantum scientists and engineers who are excited about tackling the extremely difficult challenge of miniaturizing quantum sensors for mass-market opportunities. In this role, you'll own the product development process, from conceptual design to deployment. This is a great opportunity to get in at the early stage of an exciting company to create meaningful impact while also challenging yourself in a new learning environment.
At MesaQuantum, we are scrappy, we are lean, we are ambitious, and we are a passionate team looking to tackle some of the most challenging problems limiting quantum sensors from large-scale adoption, and are looking for people with exceptional individuals who are excited to take on challenges to join us on our mission.
