Electromechanical Engineer: PCB, Packaging & Thermal Design

Quantum Computing Inc.; Bedford (MA); On-site; USD 110,000 - 140,000; Full time

Job summary

Quantum Computing Inc. seeks an hands‑on Electromechanical Engineer to design, integrate, and produce hardware for RF, optoelectronic, and photonic modules.

You’ll lead PCB and hybrid assembly design, material selection, interconnects, and thermal management across the product lifecycle. The role requires strong practical judgment selecting components, coordinating with suppliers, and integrating designs into manufacturable hardware.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant industry experience in electromechanical product development.
• Demonstrated experience designing or integrating PCBs, electrical components, interconnects, packaging, and mechanical structures into manufacturable hardware.
• Practical experience researching and selecting PCB materials and electronic components using distributor databases, supplier resources, and technical datasheets.
• Experience with PCB design and layout using Altium Designer, KiCad, OrCAD, or an equivalent EDA tool.
• Proficiency with SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.
• Proficiency with Python or similar tools for test automation, data analysis, or process control.
• Hands‑on laboratory experience with hardware assembly, troubleshooting, testing, and characterization.
• Ability to solve multidisciplinary electrical, mechanical, thermal, and manufacturing challenges.

Responsibilities

• Own electromechanical integration of PCB and hybrid assemblies, including electrical structures, bonding pads, interconnects, thermal systems, housings, and enclosures.
• Design and integrate PCBs, transmission lines, interposers, connectors, flex circuits, wire or ribbon bonds, and related interconnect technologies.
• Select PCB substrate materials based on electrical, thermal, mechanical reliability, and manufacturing requirements.
• Research and select components using DigiKey, Mouser, approved supplier databases, datasheets, lifecycle information, and application requirements.
• Create and maintain component libraries, including symbols, footprints, sourcing data, approved alternatives, and lifecycle status.
• Co‑design electrical layouts and mechanical packaging to support fit, alignment, thermal performance, manufacturability, reliability, and signal integrity.
• Specify and integrate TECs, thermistors, drivers, and control electronics; support power budgeting and thermal‑management decisions.
• Develop 3D CAD models, assemblies, drawings, fixtures, tooling, and support hardware using SolidWorks or equivalent software.
• Build, troubleshoot, and test hardware; support continuity and functional testing, root‑cause investigations, and corrective actions.
• Develop test automation and data‑analysis tools using Python or a comparable scripting language.
• Create assembly procedures, work instructions, engineering drawings, bills of materials, and change documentation.
• Partner with manufacturing, suppliers, and contract manufacturers to improve manufacturability, yield, reliability, cost, and production readiness.
• Drive design transfer from prototype through qualification and manufacturing support.
