Responsibilities

Design and develop high‑precision mechanical assemblies and positioning systems to enable stable and automated quantum sensing measurements.
Identify and evaluate suitable components (e.g., motion stages, mounts, materials) for integration into our metrology setup.
Conduct simulations, tolerance analysis, and mechanical testing to validate designs and ensure long‑term stability and reproducibility.
Collaborate closely with optical engineers, electronics engineers, and software developers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems into the full measurement workflow.
Communicate directly with manufacturing partners and suppliers to ensure that all components meet our performance and quality requirements.
Document mechanical designs, test results, and integration guidelines in a clear and structured manner.

What is expected of you

MSc and 4+ years in the industry or 2+ years in the industry and a PhD
Minimum of 3 years of hands‑on experience in designing and developing mechanical systems for scientific or industrial applications
Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work in multidisciplinary teams.
Strong foundation in precision mechanical design, including GD&T, metrology, and manufacturing processes.
Familiar with FEA and simulation tools.
Skilled in system error budgeting and problem‑solving.
Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with peers, present findings, and contribute to technical reports.
Experience in electrical engineering or microscopy is a strong plus.

Benefits

Competitive salary with equity participation.
30 days of paid vacation plus public holidays.
Annual learning and development budget.
Regular off‑sites and team events.
