- Direct, hands-on experience operating and troubleshooting dilution refrigerators (required)
- Substantial hands-on experience working with sub-Kelvin cryogenic systems
- Experience operating and maintaining high-availability laboratory or industrial equipment
- Experience assembling, servicing, and maintaining scientific instruments or complex electro-mechanical systems
