Nomad Atomics Quantum Sensing Engineer

Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world's most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.

Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined to make it happen.

We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.

You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of science and engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology development. You are an expert in your field and are ready to jump headfirst into the strange world of quantum sensing.

It's ok if you don't have all the skills yet to build a quantum sensor, because you want to work with a global team of experts to fill in the gaps. You may have come from a large corporation or be fresh out of university but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.

Working hand in hand with the co-founders, you'll be responsible for the development of digital and analogue circuits for our field sensors. You will also contribute to all electronics and optical sub-systems of Nomad's quantum sensors. This is an exceptionally hands-on role requiring a broad skill set, including general circuit design and prototyping, RF system development and the integration of FPGAs and SoCs.

We are seeking an Electronics Engineer with strong communication skills who can work effectively with engineers, manufacturing staff, and business stakeholders. The role requires a willingness to ask questions, seek clarification, and learn from more experienced team members. You will help gather and understand requirements, contribute to hands-on testing and design tasks, and apply structured problem-solving to support sound engineering decisions.

You will be responsible for and deeply embedded in the end-to-end development and deployment of our sensors and will be engaged daily in tasks like:

• Work with a team of physicists and engineers to develop field ready quantum sensors
• Design, build and test custom PCBs for the mechanical, optical and electronic subsystems
• Hand assemble PCBs and cable harnesses to support rapid prototyping and field test systems
• Develop and maintain assembly documentation
• Work with manufacturing partners for timely prototype and series production
• Debug and optimise subsystem and sensor performance in harsh environments
