Descripción de la vacante

Entangled Future seeks an experienced instrumentation engineer to develop complete scientific instruments from concept to operation. You will translate performance requirements into integrated engineering solutions, ensuring all subsystems work together and collaborating with scientists to iteratively improve the instrument.

You will adapt instruments for new experiments, contribute hands-on to assembly and testing, and lead multidisciplinary projects through design verification and deployment.

Formación

• Master in engineering with 4+ years building scientific instruments and complex fluidic systems.
• Proven track record taking instrument concepts to assembly and functional testing.
• Experience leading multidisciplinary projects translating performance into a working instrument.
• Strong grasp of physical engineering principles, trade-off analysis and feasibility.
• Hands-on prototyping and experimentation mindset.

Responsabilidades

• Develop complete scientific instruments and prototypes from concept to design, assembly, integration and operation.
• Translate performance requirements into engineering solutions, addressing constraints and risks.
• Own integrated concept; ensure mechanical, fluidic, electrical, software and automation subsystems work together.
• Collaborate with scientists to evaluate system performance and iteratively improve the instrument.
• Adapt existing instrumentation for new experimental applications and evaluate redesign needs.
• Work hands-on with prototypes, contributing to assembly, commissioning and troubleshooting.
