As a Quantum Materials UHV Hardware Engineer at the core of our materials and device pipeline, you will collaborate closely with interdisciplinary teams to design, build, and operate advanced Ultra High Vacuum (UHV) systems capable of achieving base pressures around 10⁻¹¹ Torr. Your responsibilities include specifying and integrating pumps, gauges, manipulators, motion systems, heaters, cryogenic components, and in-vacuum diagnostics while ensuring thermal stability and compatibility with sensitive quantum materials. You will also leverage modern AI tools to enhance system monitoring and troubleshooting, adapt hardware platforms for evolving experimental needs, and provide technical leadership across various teams to align hardware capabilities with program requirements. This role demands proficiency in 3D CAD tools like SolidWorks, hands-on experience with machining and metal fabrication, and a strong background in designing or operating UHV systems for advanced materials research.
