About Us

QuantWare is the world's leading manufacturer of superconducting quantum hardware. As a high growth start-up with a global customer base, our mission is to accelerate the advent of the quantum computer. We push the boundaries of what's possible in our field. We work on making the world’s largest quantum processors, as fast as possible.

At QuantWare, we’re not just producing quantum hardware for the hyperscalers of tomorrow; we’re working on technology that will change the world. To make that ambition a reality, we need exceptional people who drive real impact. That’s where you come in.

As a Mechanical Engineer, Quantum Hardware, you will develop critical hardware components for our quantum processors, including packaging, shielding and sample holders. Quantum processors are extremely sensitive devices, leading to challenging requirements on compactness, magnetic and radiation shielding and thermalisation.

You will work with some of the smartest and most passionate people in the field, offering a great environment to learn. The packaging you design will house our quantum chips in state-of-the-art labs around the world, shaping how our customers interact with our products and accelerating the advent of quantum computing.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Design, prototype, and iterate sample holders, magnetic shielding, brackets, and other components used to package, shield and mount quantum processors.

• 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.

• Select and manage suppliers, including overseeing outsourced manufacturing, ensuring quality and timely delivery.

• Document designs, prototypes, and best practices to support knowledge transfer and future scaling.

Your Profile

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, ideally in fields involving large temperature gradients, magnetic shielding, EM radiation protection, and/or thermalisation challenges, with a proven track record of high-quality, manufacturable designs.

• Proficiency with CAD software such as AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, or similar tools.

• Experience with prototyping techniques such as 3D printing and/or CNC machining.

• A proactive approach to design: collecting requirements, sharing sketches and prototypes for feedback, and involving the right stakeholders throughout the process.

• Experience with design of radiofrequency systems and/or PCBs is a strong plus.

• Fluency in English.
