Mechanical Engineer – Vacuum Opto Mechanical Assembly - 822

Job description

We are seeking a Lead Mechanical Design Engineer in our Broomfield, CO location to apply their skills to the development of our next generation large-scale quantum computers. In this role, you will own the mechanical design of a precision quantum hardware subsystem that physically houses the core of our ion trap quantum computer. This subsystem integrates an ultra-high vacuum chamber, ion trap hardware, precision beam delivery and detection optics, electrical control components, and associated structural, thermal, and alignment features. The work spans early-stage architecture, detailed opto mechanical design, tolerance and stability analysis, hands on prototyping, and iteration alongside physicists, electrical engineers, and systems engineers. Key Responsibilities: - Lead the mechanical development and deployment of precision, multi-functional, quantum hardware assemblies from early concepts to detailed design to final procurement for next-generation trapped-ion quantum computers. - Design mechanical interfaces, mounting structures, and housing modules for complex optical, electrical, cryogenic, and vacuum subsystems. - Design precision environmental control systems. - Work with s...
