About the Job

Requirements

An Associate's degree, trade school certification, other verifiable training in a relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience is required.
At least 1 year of experience in electromechanical assembly, system integration, and testing, including direct work with electrostatic discharge-sensitive electronics, materials, and components is required.
At least 1 year of experience with script-based software, including reading, interpreting, modifying, and executing scripts, is required.

Responsibilities

Assemble, install, and integrate electronic hardware, modules, and circuit boards into quantum computing systems according to technical drawings, schematics, and build procedures.
Calibrate, test, and adjust electronic instruments and systems, including continuity checks and signal path verification, to ensure integrity and meet performance specifications.
Use electronic test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and signal generators to diagnose and troubleshoot issues while interpreting technical documentation and assembly instructions.
Maintain accurate records of configurations, tests, and calibrations performed throughout the assembly and testing process.
Collaborate with engineering and other technical teams to support the development, testing, and deployment of systems.

Desired Qualifications

At least 3 years of experience in vendor management and procurement of electromechanical and laboratory components, PCB and FPCB rework including soldering, de-soldering, and crimping, and rapid-prototyping fabrication techniques such as laser cutting, 3D printing, drill press, and band saw is preferred.
Proficiency in test automation and scripting languages such as Python, SQL, and MATLAB is preferred.
Proficiency in reading and interpreting technical documentation such as schematics, wiring diagrams, and manuals to support troubleshooting and problem-solving is preferred.
Familiarity with network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and other radio-frequency test equipment is preferred.

About the Company

Google

Runs Search and YouTube and builds Gemini AI

Google runs the world's most used search engine and free services such as YouTube, Android, and Gmail, and it builds the Gemini AI models that work inside them. In 2017, its researchers invented the transformer, the neural network design behind ChatGPT and most other AI chatbots. People use these services without paying, and Google earns most of its money from ads placed beside search results and YouTube videos. Businesses rent computing power and Gemini models through Google Cloud, and Google also sells subscriptions and Pixel phones. Larry Page and Sergey Brin founded Google in 1998 as Stanford PhD students; it is based in Mountain View, California, United States, and is the main business of parent company Alphabet.
