Electronics Technician

At Universal Quantum we aim to make the world a better place by engineering the future of computing. Together, we are creating truly impactful quantum computers. Our machines will be capable of solving problems until now considered impossible, with applications ranging across a broad range of industries including healthcare, materials and aerospace. We are looking to hire an Electronics Technician (m/f/d) to join our Electronics Group and help drive our innovative development work forward. Passionate about helping create technologies that can change the world? We may be the right place for you, so get in touch! 

Role Profile 

You will be a key member of the team that is responsible for supporting our electronics development and for maintaining the quality of our lab environments. Within your role you will have the opportunity to engage with technical challenges which suit your skills and development goals. Detail-oriented applicants who are passionate about problem solving and with interests spanning a wide range of engineering disciplines are ideal. You will also be involved in the development and day-to-day implementation of both operational processes (e.g., organization systems and 5S audits), Health and Safety practices (e.g., risk assessments, and SOPs), and other laboratory maintenance tasks (e.g. Consumables and stock ordering). This position requires a collaborative candidate with good communication skills. 

What You Can Accomplish 

Technical: 

• Simple PCB design (using Altium, e.g. test circuits, breakouts, adapters) 

• Assembly of low-volume PCB prototypes and precise rework of components 

• Electronics testing and data collection (e.g., organizing setups, equipment, and monitoring of tests) 

• Basic mechanical CAD (e.g., IO panel design & 3D printed parts) 

• Mechanical fabrication and assembly (e.g., 3D printing, product assembly, cable making) 

• Component sourcing based on defined specifications (e.g., connectors, cables, switches) 

Laboratory: 

• Be a go-to person for engineering problem solving 

• Support the Health and Safety aspects and drive 5S principals 

• Maintenance, organisation, and asset tracking (e.g., components, tools, and test equipment) 

• Ensure stock of essential supplies (e.g., resistors, solder, 3D printer materials) 

• Engage with facilities for planning activities and risk management.
