Mechanical Engineer
QuantWare · Delft
What you will do
Design, prototype, and iterate sample holders, magnetic shielding, brackets, and other components used to package, shield and mount quantum processors & amplifiers.
Taking ownership on projects: Work with design and measurement teams to collect product requirements (e.g., form factor, ease of use, high-density integration) and translate into practical, manufacturable designs.
Document designs, technical drawings, and best practices to support knowledge transfer and future scaling.
Select and manage suppliers, including overseeing outsourced manufacturing, ensuring quality and timely delivery.
What they look for
You don’t need to tick every box, but if most of these apply, we’d love to hear from you:
4+ years of experience in mechanical or hardware design with a proven track record of high-quality, manufacturable designs.
Experience in fields involving large temperature gradients, magnetic shielding, EM radiation protection, and/or thermalisation challenges is a strong plus
A proactive approach to design: collecting requirements, sharing sketches and prototypes for feedback, and involving the right stakeholders throughout the process.
Proficiency with CAD software such as AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar tools.
Experience with prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and/or CNC machining.
Experience with design of radiofrequency systems and / or PCBs is a differentiator.
Fluency in English.
Don't tick every box? Apply anyway! Research shows women often self-select out if they don't meet every requirement. Here's our take: nobody ticks every box. This is a description of our ideal candidate, not a filter. If most resonates and you're keen to learn the gaps, apply. We hire for trajectory, not perfection.
