Quantum Systems Stability & Sensitivity Engineer

What you'll do

• Investigate and resolve sources of electrical interference, signal pickup, mechanical vibration, and long-term drift in quantum hardware.
• Characterize how rack layout, cabling, grounding, shielding, and fridge vibration influence system stability and measurement sensitivity.
• Build and validate test racks, including baseline measurements of system noise and stability.
• Perform hands-on assembly, cabling, grounding, and shielding work for rack buildouts and upgrades across multiple sites.
• Troubleshoot room temperature and cryogenic systems, including instrumentation faults, environmental noise, and mechanical issues.
• Recommend improvements for future system designs regarding layout, cabling, shielding, grounding, and vibration isolation.
• Analyze and communicate the results of investigations and corrective actions to cross-disciplinary teams.

What we're looking for

• Master's Degree in Electrical, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering, or a Bachelor's Degree with 2+ years of technical engineering experience.
• Ability to pass Microsoft Cloud Background Checks and meet export control regulations (ITAR/EAR/EU Dual Use).
• Ability to provide proof of citizenship or U.S. permanent residency for export-controlled information access.
• Ability to leverage AI tools for measurement, performance modeling, and task automation in an AI-first environment.
• Doctorate in Electrical, Computer, or Mechanical Engineering, or a Bachelor's Degree with 5+ years of technical engineering experience (preferred).
• Hands-on experience using instrumentation to troubleshoot physical and electronic systems in research or engineering environments (preferred).
• Experience with low-noise electronic measurements, cryogenic systems, and vibration isolation (preferred).
• Experience with data acquisition and programming in Python or MATLAB in a version-controlled environment (preferred).
