Senior Mechanical Engineer – Cryogenics & Vacuum

eleQtron develops and operates full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future.Responsibilities:As a Mechanical Engineer - Cryogenics & Vacuum (f/m/d), you will be part of a team with a mission to develop, set up and operate our trapped-ion quantum computers and relevant test devices. You will collaborate closely with our international team of physicists and engineers from different disciplines. Depending on your level of experience, you will work on one or more of the following tasks: Carry out the development and design of highly innovative mechanical components, and their integration into the overall quantum computer design system in cooperation with systems expertsTake responsibility for the detailed design of thermal pathways and interfaces, and tracking thermal budgets for quantum computersCreate 3D CAD models and drawings for manufacturing, define the product’s mechanical design, and manage CAD data, parts lists, and the Bill of Materials (BOM)Define manufacturing specifications, support procurement in supplier validation, and collaborate with suppliers on methods, materials, and requirementsAssist with quick proof of concepts and feasibility discussionsTest mechanical prototypes and check them against specificationsFacilitate proactive communication and close coordination with customers and suppliers in collaboration with procurementContinuously optimize processes within the existing work environmentRequired skills:BSc. or MSc degree in mechanical engineering or comparable8+ years of experience in an engineering or R&D environmentProficiency in SolidWorksExperience in the design and development of bespoke machinery or systemsExperience in manufacturing processes and treatments of broad range of materials beside steel and aluminumExperience with systematic product development processes Well organized and structured way of workingBeing adaptable while practicing critical thinkingBusiness fluent in English, knowledge of German is a plusWe value:Experience with ultra-high vacuum and/or opticsExperience in the design and manufacturing processes for high precision systemsExperience with cryogenics and pumped vacuum applicationsAn excellent grasp of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with practical experienceKnowledge of industry standards and mechanical tolerance analysisDisciplined in thorough documentationKnowledge of setting up product structure in PDM, PLM and ERP System Knowledge of other CAD packages What you can expect from eleQtron:Competitive salary: We value our team members and therefore provide remunerations that reflect this, additionally rewarding particular achievements.Flexible working hours: We offer personal freedom through a variety of flexible work schedules.Team spirit: In our international and diverse team, and with our regular team events, having fun at work is simply part of the game.Further development: We want to grow together and so we offer our team members’ needs-based, individualized further training as well as plenty of room for personal development.Wellness Package: We offer health-promoting benefits such as fitness programs like UrbanSportsClub to support your well-being.Moving Benefits: A warm welcome! We are happy to support employees who move for us with a bonus.At the forefront: Work at the forefront of technology, where academic research meets commercial applications.Modern workplace: We have a high-quality infrastructure with laboratory space, offices, and meeting rooms.Find more English Speaking Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
