Mechanical engineer

Quantum Machines (QM) is a global leader in control systems for quantum computing, a field on the verge of exponential growth. Our innovative hardware and software mark a groundbreaking approach in quantum computer control, scaling from individual qubits to expansive arrays of thousands. At the core of QM lies a passionate and ambitious team committed to reshaping the construction and operation of quantum computers. Our work is fueled by a deep understanding of customer needs, driving us to deliver unparalleled solutions in this revolutionary field.

The hardware development team spans two global sites – one in Tel Aviv and one in Copenhagen. The two teams work seamlessly together across projects, and we try to foster an open dialogue to foster creativity and commitment. The hardware team is responsible for all hardware within QM spanning from room-temperature control hardware to our cryogenic QPU carriers.

We are seeking an experienced and innovative Mechanical Engineer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in mechanical design, analysis, and manufacturing. The ideal candidate will bring creativity, technical excellence, and strong problem-solving skills to develop and optimize advanced mechanical systems and components.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of mechanical systems, assemblies, and components from concept to production.
• Perform thermal analysis and simulations to ensure optimal system performance under various environmental and operational conditions.
• Apply knowledge of manufacturing techniques such as machining, injection molding, sheet metal fabrication, and additive manufacturing.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with electrical, software, and systems engineering teams to achieve integrated product designs.
• Prepare detailed technical documentation, drawings, and design reports according to engineering standards.
• Support prototype development, testing, and validation of mechanical components and systems.
