IonQ is at the forefront of this technological revolution.

We are looking for a Technical Designer for our Environment and Power team. As a member of the Engineering organization, you'll be part of a cross-functional team whose mission is to lead IonQ on its journey to build the world's best quantum computers to solve the world's most complex problems.

In this role you will collaborate with a highly interdisciplinary team of atomic physicists, optical engineers, opto-mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, cryosystem engineers, thermal engineers, and program managers to design our upcoming products. You will contribute from conceptual design through engineering drawing release, helping design our current and next generation hardware for our quantum computers.

Responsibilities:

• Design and model parts, components, and assemblies including opto-mechanical components, electronics enclosures, racks, and environmental enclosures, among others.
• Design routed systems including COTS cable assemblies, custom wire harnesses, and fluid lines.
• Create and tolerance 2D drawings for custom components.
• Create and maintain top level subsystem installation models and engineering documentation.
• Manage assembly and installation BOMs within a product lifecycle management (PLM) software and drive engineering documentation through the release process.
  
  

You'd be a good fit with:

• A.S. in Engineering, Engineering Technologies, Design and Drafting, or another relevant degree.
• 5 years of experience with the mechanical design of machined parts, sheet metal, routed electrical systems, cable management, or rack-mounted electronics enclosures.
• Experience with Solidworks and PDM, including large-model management.
• Experience with 2D drafting and Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (ASME Y14.5)
• Good knowledge of fixture design, machine shop capabilities, and manufacturing processes
• The ideal candidate is mechanically inclined, analytic, detail-oriented, possesses quantitative analysis skills, is self-motivated, a great team member, able to proactively communicate with peers at all levels, delivering excellence in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent verbal and written communications and presentation skills are required.
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
  
  

You'd be a great fit with:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or another relevant discipline
• 10+ years of industry experience; proven experience in packaging and implementation of hardware with thermal management considerations is of paramount importance
• Experience with Solidworks Electrical and Routed System modules.
• Strong background in design, mechanical analyses, thermal and structural engineering, cable management and routing, build, and integration
• Knowledge and experience with complex optical systems, lasers, free-space optical systems and components
• Effective interpersonal skills and ability to work well with customers, suppliers, and in a team environment

IonQ's HQ is located in College Park, Maryland, just outside of Washington DC. We are actively building out our recently opened manufacturing and production facility in Bothell, WA (near Seattle). Depending on the position, you may be required to be near one of our offices in College Park, Seattle, Toronto, Canada, and Basel, Switzerland. However, IonQ will expand into additional domestic and international geographies, so don't let this stop you from applying!

At IonQ, we believe in fair treatment, access, opportunity, and advancement for all while striving to identify and eliminate barriers. We empower employees to thrive by fostering a culture of autonomy, productivity, and respect.

US Technical Jobs. The position you are applying for will require access to technology that is subject to U.S. export control and government contract restrictions. Employment with IonQ is contingent on either verifying "U.S. Person" (e.g., U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident, or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum) status for export controls and government contracts work, obtaining any necessary license, and/or confirming the availability of a license exception under U.S. export controls. Please note that in the absence of confirming you are a U.S. Person for export control and government contracts work purposes, IonQ may choose not to apply for a license or decline to use a license exception (if available) for you to access export-controlled technology that may require authorization, and similarly, you may not qualify for government contracts work that requires U.S. Persons, and IonQ may decline to proceed with your application on those bases alone. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.

US Non-Technical Jobs. Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Accordingly, we will have some additional questions regarding your immigration status that will be used for export control and compliance purposes, and the answers will be reviewed by compliance personnel to ensure compliance with federal law.
