Job description

Responsabilities

• Design and integrate robust rack and electronics systems for our quantum computing set-ups, including custom PCBs, cryostat sub-parts, and the tooling needed to support implementation
• Integrate equipment into racks and cryostats, manage wiring across instruments, and drive the scale-up of installations
• Diagnose and repair electronic boards and equipment: understand why something failed, and decide whether to fix it in-house or send it back to the supplier
• Validate and verify commercial equipment, running tests to check that signals and performance meet our needs
• Source, evaluate, and negotiate with equipment and component suppliers, keeping an eye on state-of-the-art instrumentation
• Work closely with physicists, RF and mechanical engineers to define hardware architectures, and document your work along the way

Requirements

• Engineering degree (or equivalent) in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 3+ years in electronics design and system integration, ideally with an electromechanical background (robotics, drones, wearables, connected or embedded devices, anywhere size, weight and power are tight)
• Hands-on PCB design experience (KiCad, Altium or similar)
• Hands-on experience with cabling and rack integration
• Real workshop skills: you’ve soldered, debugged, assembled and repaired electronic or electromechanical systems
• Some exposure to RF systems (telecoms, radar, connected objects…). You don’t need to be an RF design expert
• Familiarity with lab instrumentation (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes). We’ll help you grow on test and validation
• Comfortable using Python (or another language) to automate tests and processes
• A resourceful, pragmatic mindset and a knack for inventing simpler, more scalable integration solutions
• Supplier management skills, and strong communication, both with external partners and across internal teams
