About Us
Maybell Quantum is building the hardware foundation of the quantum era. Our redesigned dilution refrigerator gives labs more fridges per room, more experiments per fridge, and a level of reliability and usability the field has never had. We are a fast-growing, venture-backed team of scientists and engineers, and the cryogenic systems we design in Denver ship to leading quantum computing groups around the world.
We are seeking a Cryogenics Engineer to test, validate, troubleshoot, and refine our products and the subsystems that comprise them. You will work alongside our R&D scientists, mechanical and electrical engineers, and manufacturing team to elevate our products, drive customer success from installation through long-term operation, and deliver an exceptional customer experience.
What You'll Do
Test**,** Validat****e, & Iterate
-
Develop Test Plans: Build comprehensive experiments that push our products to the limit to ensure the highest quality standards—and to find ways for “the best to perform even better.”
-
Operate and Troubleshoot: Become the equivalent of a “test pilot” for the most advanced cryogenic systems in the world, with a heavy focus on evaluating the user experience and risks to uptime.
-
Drive Innovation: Work with our product and engineering teams to refine our platforms’ designs based on your tests and discoveries.
Support our Customer Success Team
-
Support Global Operations: Partner with our customers to root-cause and solve issues, allowing them to achieve the next breakthrough in quantum computing. Occasionally travel on site to assist when required.
-
Build our Customer Success Infrastructure: Document test, and inspection procedures to ensure a common standard across the company and the highest level of customer support.
Safety & Standards
- Engineer for Safety: Apply pressure-safety, relief-sizing, and oxygen-deficiency hazard practices to systems that handle helium-3/helium-4 mixture, liquid nitrogen, and high vacuum.
Who You Are
Required:
-
Bachelor's degree (or higher) in mechanical engineering, physics, or an equivalent technical field.
-
3+ years of hands-on experience designing, building, or operating cryogenic systems.
