Senior Cryogenics & Mechanical Systems Engineer – Cryostats, Wiring, DC, Flux, CAD, Barcelona

This is a unique chance to own the cryogenic, thermal and mechanical architecture of quantum set-ups, whilst living in the beautiful and sunny Barcelona.

Our client is building full-stack superconducting quantum computing systems, combining QPUs, cryogenic infrastructure, control electronics, racks, cabling, software and deployment infrastructure.

Main tasks:

– Cryogenic integration of quantum computing set-ups

– Define and maintain the cryomechanical reference architecture for quantum set-ups

– Build and validate thermal-budget models for cryostats, wiring, filters, and DC/flux-current limits

– Designing, reviewing and improving mechnical components

– Thermal budgets from room temperature to MXC

– Mechanical integration inside and around dilution refrigerators

– Owning set-up level CAD integration

Experience:

– MSc, PhD or equivalent professional experience in Mechanical Engineering, Cryogenic Engineering, Applied Physics, Thermal Engineering, Aerospace Engineering or a related field

– 5+ years of experience with complex cryogenic, vacuum, thermal, mechanical or scientific-instrumentation systems

– Hands-on experience with CAD and mechanical design for real hardware systems

– Experience with dilution refrigerators, cryogenic measurement setups, superconducting devices or quantum hardware

– Experience with cryogenic cabling, attenuators, filters, thermal anchoring, IR shielding, sample boxes, chip carriers or superconducting interconnects

– Experience with Inventor, SolidWorks, Fusion, CATIA or similar CAD tools
