Job Description
Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world’s most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.
Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined with making it happen.
We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.
Who You Are
You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of science and engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology, gaining hands on experience in research & development across all stages of a product lifecycle.
It’s ok if you don’t have all the skills yet to build a quantum sensor, because you want to work with a global team of experts to fill in the gaps. You may have come from a large corporation or be fresh out of university but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.
Your role
Working hand in hand with the co-founders and development team, you’ll be responsible for end-to-end design of critical mechanical systems for our deployed quantum sensors. This is an exceptionally hands-on role requiring a broad skill set, including component design, manufacturing, and testing. (These sensors are being used in the field, and we are moving fast.)
You Will Be Engaged Daily In Tasks Like
Design, develop and test mechanical components and systems for our quantum sensor products
Conduct testing and analysis to ensure that mechanical components meet performance and reliability requirements
Use 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) to create detailed design drawings and specifications
Work closely with physicists, electronic and software engineers, to integrate mechanical components into the overall system design
Collaborate within the mechanical engineering team to participate with design reviews and idea generation
Maintain part and assemblies within product life cycle (PLM) systems
Work with external suppliers to build and maintain relationships to push the innovation of our products
Collaborate with the manufacturing team to ensure that designs can be produced at scale
Maintain a safe and organized lab/machine shop environment
Assist with the maintenance of deployed sensors
Requirements
It’s not about specifically where you have come from nor what qualifications you have. What truly matters is that you are an impossibly fast learner. The types of things people applying for this role have done prior to Nomad are things like:
B.Sc or M.Sc in mechanical, aerospace, mechatronics engineering or related field
Ideally 1 to 3 years of experience designing and prototyping precision mechanical systems
Proficiency in 3D CAD software
Experience designing for a range of manufacturing technics including CNC machined parts
Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and simulation tools
Ideally, experience designing flexure components and optomechanical systems
Ideally, experience designing system that tightly integrate electrical components
Excellent communication and collaboration skills
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience working in a small cross-functional teams
Highly initiative with an ability to work both independently and within collaborative team
Ability to be hands on for manufacturing & assembling of jigs, prototypes & products
If you think you’re right for the role, but don’t have some of these skills, reach out – we’d love to talk anyway.
Benefits
The role is full-time and based in Melbourne, Australia.
We have the flexibility to work from home from time to time, but mostly it’s getting your hands dirty in our shiny labs.
We offer a competitive salary, employee share option package and opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
