Zusammenfassung

kiutra is looking for a Cryo Engineer (f/m/d) to advance magnetic cooling systems for applied quantum technologies. You will work from simulation to hardware prototyping and toward production readiness in a fast-growing deep-tech environment in Munich.

The role requires a PhD or Master’s with 3–5 years of relevant experience, hands-on cryogenic work, CAD and FEM skills, and fluency in English. On-site collaboration with an international team is expected.

Qualifikationen

• PhD or Master’s degree with 3–5 years of relevant experience in physics, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
• Hands-on cryogenic engineering experience (ADR, dilution refrigerators, pulse tube coolers) and/or applied quantum technology knowledge.
• Proficient with CAD software for designing and iterating mechanical assemblies through to production readiness.
• Experience with FEM tools (ANSYS, COMSOL) for mechanical, thermal, and/or magnetic analysis.
• Ideally familiar with PLM systems and hardware release processes.
• Structured, self-driven work style with ability to manage multiple parallel work packages and timelines.
• Fluent English; German is a plus; on-site in Munich.

Aufgaben

• Support R&D activities on magnetic refrigeration for applied quantum technologies, focusing on quantum computing.
• Plan, coordinate, and support development and fabrication of hardware prototypes and key components.
• Take part in FEM simulations of mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties of the systems.
• Create CAD models, iterate across development stages, and drive production readiness.
• Maintain and update technical documentation for prototypes and systems.
• Ensure tasks and work packages are completed within agreed timelines.
• Report development progress to internal teams and funding agencies when applicable.
• Oversee quality control and release processes in the PLM system to meet defined standards.
