MECHANICAL DESIGNER Team: Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Team Supervisor: Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Lead Subordinate: None Collaboration: Design team, Quantum Hardware Team and Operations Department About Nord Quantique At Nord Quantique, we strive to build impactful technology by relentlessly pushing our understanding of quantum science. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, innovators, builders, and enthusiasts on a mission to make quantum computing a reality. Our quantum processors are designed to reduce errors in quantum computation to facilitate long-term scaling toward fully-fledged quantum computers. We believe it is our responsibility to deliver this transformative technology for the greater good of society. Located at the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships region in the province of Quebec, Canada, we develop our technology in the vibrant quantum ecosystem of Sherbrooke. Leaning on more than a decade of vertical integration of quantum hardware, we are leveraging a comprehensive pool of quantum technology and micro-electronic infrastructure to deploy our quantum computing technology. Our current needs As we scale up our quantum processors and supporting infrastructure, we are seeking a skilled and self-driven Mechanical Designer to join our Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Team. This role focuses on the CAD of the cryogenic dilution refrigerators setups, precision design of 3D qubit assemblies and structural and thermal analysis of these systems. Key responsibilities: Develop CAD of 3D cavity qubits and GD&T drawings, ensuring mechanical precision and manufacturability. Explore mechanical elements of designs and manufacturing techniques in cavity designs to improve the repeatability of assembly. Design and develop assembly procedures and fixtures for precise assembly of nanofabricated chips. Design and document the cryogenic setups for dilution refrigerator systems. Conduct structural and thermal analysis on the cryogenic setup to support the payload and thermal performance, analytically and numerically. Support the organization of CAD libraries, revision control systems, and documentation to support long-term system scaling and reproducibility. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Design, Quantum Hardware, and Nanofabrication) to iterate on designs. Coordinate with external vendors, suppliers, and development partners to support machining, sourcing, and integration activities. This is a dynamic role within a fast-paced, research-driven environment, offering the opportunity to contribute directly to the advancement of scalable quantum hardware. Education and experience requirements: Bachelor?s degree (BSc) or Master?s degree (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering or in related field with minimum 2 years of mechanical design experience. Must have R&D industry experience, preferably within scientific instrumentati
