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
Required skills:
BSc or MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Precision Engineering, or a closely related discipline
Minimum 8 years of professional mechanical engineering experience
Advanced professional proficiency in SolidWorks is mandatory
Demonstrable experience designing complex mechanical assemblies, bespoke machinery, or technically demanding systems
Strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, including manufacturing methods, materials, tolerance analysis, GD&T, DfM/DfA, structural design, and mechanical interface
Strong ownership of mechanical designs and technical decisions
We value:
CSWP – Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional certification
Experience in industries such as scientific instrumentation, semiconductor equipment, aerospace, precision engineering, special-purpose machinery, optics, or similar fields
Experience with high-precision systems and/or exposure to vacuum, cryogenic, thermal, optical, or vibration-sensitive applications
Excellent engineering judgment and the ability to identify and improve weak or risky design solutions
Practical understanding of how components are manufactured, assembled, tested, and serviced
What you can expect from eleQtron:
Competitive salary: We value our team members and therefore provide remunerations that reflect this, additionally rewarding particular achievements.
Flexible working hours: We offer personal freedom through a variety of flexible work schedules.
Team spirit: In our international and diverse team, and with our regular team events, having fun at work is simply part of the game.
Further development: We want to grow together and so we offer our team members’ needs-based, individualized further training as well as plenty of room for personal development.
Wellness Package: We offer health-promoting benefits such as fitness programs like UrbanSportsClub to support your well-being.
Moving Benefits: A warm welcome! We are happy to support employees who move for us with a bonus.
At the forefront: Work at the forefront of technology, where academic research meets commercial applications.
Modern workplace: We have a high-quality infrastructure with laboratory space, offices, and meeting rooms.
