Senior Mechanical Engineer

eleQtron develops and operates full-stack quantum computers based on trapped-ion technology. Quantum computing is a new computing paradigm rapidly approaching commercial viability. Our unique approach combines laser-cooled trapped ions with microwave control and tailored magnetic fields. Our next-generation computing machines under development will be able to find solutions to problems that are out of reach today, thus enabling new innovative products and services for a brighter future.

About the Role:

We are looking for a highly experienced and technically strong Senior Mechanical Engineer (f/m/d) who can take ownership of complex mechanical designs from concept through detailed engineering, manufacturing, assembly, and validation.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone with strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, extensive practical design experience, and advanced SolidWorks capabilities.

Responsibilities:

• Take technical ownership of complex mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems from concept through manufacturing, assembly, and validation

• Develop robust mechanical designs for high-precision scientific and industrial equipment

• Create and maintain high-quality SolidWorks parts, assemblies, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation

• Perform tolerance analysis and define appropriate fits, interfaces, geometric tolerances, and dimensional requirements

• Translate system-level requirements into clear mechanical requirements, interfaces, and manufacturable design solutions

• Define manufacturing requirements and work closely with suppliers and Procurement on manufacturability, materials, tolerances, and quality

• Develop, test, and improve prototypes and actively contribute to design reviews and technical decision-making
