RF Engineer – Mesa Quantum Systems

Mesa Quantum is building the manufacturing backbone of the quantum economy. We specialize in chip-scale quantum devices—starting with clocks and sensors—that unlock resilient Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) systems. Our team blends cutting‑edge quantum physics with precision manufacturing and systems engineering to create scalable hardware that works beyond the lab. Backed by leading deep‑tech investors and the U.S. Department of Defense, we’re growing fast—and looking for exceptional engineers to join us.

We’reseekingan
RF&Analog Electronics Engineer to lead the design and development of precision, low‑noise, mixed‑signal electronics for our quantum devices. You’ll work across disciplines to integrate electronics with optics, vacuum, and quantum systems—contributing to the heart of a new class of quantum sensors.

This is a hands‑on, deeply technical role that will shape the future of Mesa’s products and platform.
