We're hiring a Mechanical Technician to be the hands-on support for our Hardware Engineering team. You'll advise on designs, fabricate, assemble, test, and troubleshoot the mechanical and fluid systems inside our quantum computers — and you'll help us turn in-house knowledge into procedures and fixtures that our present and future contract manufacturers can execute.

You'll work directly with mechanical, electrical, and optical engineers and with physicists on live machines. You'll be a first call when something needs to be built or fixed right now, and be a driver in making our builds measurable, repeatable, and safe.

Machine and module assembly

Build and integrate mechanical subassemblies for our machines: electronics racks, enclosures and frames, cold plates and liquid-cooling manifolds, cable management, and opto-mechanical module hardware.

Perform precision assembly to documented procedures — torque specs, cleanliness requirements, fastener control, serialization.

Support installation and rework on operating machines, coordinating carefully with the scientists and engineers who run them.

Test, inspection, and troubleshooting

Execute pressure and leak tests, flow checks, and mechanical inspections; record results and flag anything out of spec.

Diagnose mechanical and fluid-system problems on the floor and drive them to a fix, escalating design issues to engineering with clear evidence.

Support root-cause investigations with hands-on teardown, measurement, and recreation of failure modes.

Fabrication and prototyping

Run and own the mechanical development room and machine shop: manual/CNC-assist mill, saws, drill press, hand tools, and layout/inspection equipment.
