D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NASDAQ: QBTS) is a leader in the development and delivery of quantum computing systems, software, and services.
About the role
D-Wave is seeking a mechanical engineer to join our New Haven engineering team and contribute to the design and development of advanced hardware for state-of-the-art quantum computing systems. In this role, you will work hands-on with complex cryogenic, vacuum, and electromechanical systems, helping transform ambitious engineering concepts into reliable, buildable hardware. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Design, prototype, test, and improve mechanical components and system subassemblies for complex electromechanical systems
- Develop and maintain CAD models, detailed drawings, bills of materials, and supporting documentation for prototype builds, design reviews, and released designs
- Apply mechanical engineering principles, including tolerance analysis, materials selection, and design for manufacturability and assembly (DFM/DFA)
- Support hands-on assembly, integration, testing, and troubleshooting of prototype and system hardware, document test results, assembly methods, design changes, and lessons learned
- Collaborate with internal teams and suppliers to develop reliable, practical mechanical solutions and resolve fabrication, fit, assembly, and performance issues
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent training and experience
