At Universal Quantum, we aim to make the world a better place by engineering the future of computing. Together, we are creating truly impactful quantum computers. Our machines will be capable of solving problems until now considered impossible, with applications ranging across a broad range of industries, including healthcare, materials and aerospace. We are looking to hire a Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d) to join our team as we develop hardware for ion-trap quantum computing. Passionate about helping create technologies which can change the world? We may be the right place for you so get in touch!What You’ll Accomplish:Design, build and test thermal control systems for ion trap quantum devices. Design, build and test electronic enclosure assemblies for ion trap quantum devices. Integrate mechanical designs with laser systems and electronics designs. Work with a multidisciplinary and experienced team of Electrical Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Physicists and Quantum Engineers. Help in the planning and scheduling of projects, reporting progress and issues. Engage with project planning activities, risk management and scheduling requirements. RequirementsThe 3 Most Critical Attributes We’ll Use to Compare Candidates: Experience in the design and build of thermal management systems. Experience in the design and build of electronic enclosure assemblies. Experience in developing complex models to simulate thermal management systems. Must-have Skills: Minimum 5 years of experience working in a competitive engineering environment. Significant experience in the design of mechanical systems, including thermal management systems and electronic enclosure assemblies. Proficient in 2D & 3D CAD for mechanical and structural design, including detailed part and assembly drawings. Experience using CAE tools for thermal and mechanical FEA, including stress/strain analysis. Experience in thermal/mechanical testing and methods Understanding of material science and the limitations it imposes on vacuum and thermal systems. Experience of working with and managing suppliers and contractors Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; a strong team player. An undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline. Fluent in German and English Nice-to-have Skills:Experience in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques. Experience in the design and build of vacuum systems Experience in the design and build of cryogenic systems Experience in vibrational/resonance modelling Experience in fatigue and creep analysis Experience in using SolidWorks and Ansys Please feel encouraged to apply even if you don't match all the requirements of our job description.
