Cryogenic Engineer

Are you passionate about low-temperature physics, thermal engineering, and advanced hardware development? At SCALINQ, we're looking for a Cryogenic Engineer to help develop the next generation of cryogenic infrastructure for quantum computing.

The role
As a Cryogenic Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and optimizing cryogenic hardware solutions for quantum computing applications.

Working closely with physicists, design engineers, and test engineers, you will take hardware concepts from simulation through experimental verification and implementation. Your work will directly influence product performance and contribute to shaping SCALINQ’s future technology roadmap.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Developing and optimizing cryogenic hardware systems.

• Performing thermal simulations and modelling to predict system performance.

• Designing, supporting, and participating in experimental testing and validation activities.

• Responsible for Scalinq’s fleet of cryostats; calibration, monitoring, and maintenance.

• Analyzing measurement data and correlating results with simulation models.

• Identifying and troubleshooting thermal and cryogenic system challenges.

• Using simulation insights to guide hardware design decisions.

• Staying up to date with advancements in cryogenic technologies and modelling techniques.
  

• Professional or academic experience in cryogenic systems, low-temperature physics, thermal engineering, or comparable hardware-focused environments.

• Experience with thermal simulation tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics, SolidWorks Thermal, ANSYS, or equivalent.

• Experience working with experimental verification, testing, or validation of physical systems.

• Python or MATLAB skills for data analysis and automation.

• M.Sc. degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent industry experience.

Particularly relevant backgrounds include cryogenics, thermal engineering, experimental physics, scientific instrumentation, aerospace thermal systems, superconducting technologies, and quantum hardware.

• Hands-on experience with cryogenic refrigerators or low-temperature laboratory environments.

• Experience designing experiments and validating simulation models.

• Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks, Inventor, or similar.

• Familiarity with superconducting, RF, microwave, vacuum, or quantum hardware systems.

• Experience from quantum technology, aerospace, semiconductors, scientific instrumentation, or other advanced engineering environments.
