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 with making 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, gaining hands on experience in research & development across all stages of a product lifecycle.

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

Your role

Working hand in hand with the co-founders and development team, you'll be responsible for end-to-end design of critical mechanical systems for our deployed quantum sensors. This is an exceptionally hands-on role requiring a broad skill set, including component design, manufacturing, and testing. (These sensors are being used in the field, and we are moving fast.)

You will be engaged daily in tasks like:

• Design, develop and test mechanical components and systems for our quantum sensor products
• Conduct testing and analysis to ensure that mechanical components meet performance and reliability requirements
• Use 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) to create detailed design drawings and specifications
• Work closely with physicists, electronic and software engineers, to integrate mechanical components into the overall system design
• Collaborate within the mechanical engineering team to participate with design reviews and idea generation
• Maintain part and assemblies within product life cycle (PLM) systems
• Work with external suppliers to build and maintain relationships to push the innovation of our products
• Collaborate with the manufacturing team to ensure that designs can be produced at scale
• Maintain a safe and organized lab/machine shop environment
• Assist with the maintenance of deployed sensors
