Description
Mechanical Engineer
Position Overview
QuEra is seeking a Mechanical Engineer with expertise and experience in manufacturing to join our growing team building next-generation neutral atom quantum computers. This individual will work collaboratively with other engineers and the supply chain team to facilitate smooth new product introductions (NPIs) by ensuring documentation packages are accurate, complete and ready to transfer to suppliers and contract manufacturing partners. You will bridge the gap between design engineering and fabrication, ensuring that technical specifications and production requirements are properly communicated to vendors.
The ideal candidate will have a foundation in mechanical design principles, proficiency with 3D modeling tools (Autodesk Inventor preferred), strong experience in design for manufacturing and assembly (DfM/DfA), knowledge of GD&T, and experience working with machine shops and contract manufacturers.
Key Responsibilities
- Ensure documentation packages are accurate, complete and ready to transfer to suppliers and contract manufacturing partners
- Update existing designs and drawings, conduct design for manufacturing/assembly (DFM/DFA) reviews, and maintain documentation for customized products
- Author and maintain assembly and inspection procedures related to the manufacture of mechanical, electro-mechanical and opto-mechanical modules and sub-assemblies
- Change management and product structure management within CAD and product lifecycle management (PLM) tools
- Maintain QuEra’s technical drawing standards and support the design engineering team to execute changes to drawings as required
- Release technical documentation packages to external vendors and coordinate CAD file conversions
- Interact with suppliers to troubleshoot production issues, and maintain design and manufacturing documentation for improvements
- Ensure BOMs are properly structured and BOM data is accurate for procurement and collaborate with sourcing teams to resolve supplier discrepancies
- Design of modules as needed
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field
- Minimum 3 years of professional experience in mechanical design and creating manufacturing documentation packages in support of outsourcing production
- Proficiency in 3D CAD software (preferably Inventor) and experience using PDM software (preferably Autodesk Vault)
- Thorough understanding of fabrication, machining, sheet metal, and electromechanical and/or optomechanical assembly techniques
- Proficiency with product lifecycle management (PLM) and configuration management processes (ECO/ECR/MCO)
- Excellent problem-solving skills
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in optical systems and/or electronic systems manufacturing environments
- Experience with prototype fabrication and testing
- Familiarity with digital thread and model-based definition (MBD) environments
- Previous experience working in a startup environment
Salary Range: 125,000 - 140,000. We consistently monitor external market data and update base salary ranges accordingly. We determine base compensation decisions on several factors, including as geographic placement, role-specific knowledge, skills, and/or experience. In addition to our base salary offerings, we also provide equity grants for all new hires.
