Senior Mechanical Engineer

Senior Mechanical Engineer | Quantum Hardware | Delft | Up to €85k + EquityI’m partnering with a fast-growing deep-tech company in Delft that is developing advanced hardware used at the forefront of quantum computing.They’re now looking for a Senior Mechanical Engineer to take ownership of some of the most interesting mechanical challenges across their next generation of hardware.This is not a role where you’ll spend your time making small changes to legacy products.You’ll be working alongside RF, electronics and systems engineers to develop complex, high-performance hardware from concept through to prototype, validation and production.What you’ll be working onYou’ll take ownership across areas including:

• Mechanical architecture of complex electronic products
• PCB and electronic hardware integration
• Enclosures, chassis and precision assemblies
• Heatsinks and thermal-management solutions
• RF / EMI shielding
• Structural and thermal simulation
• Prototyping, testing and design verification
• Materials, tolerances and manufacturing processes
• DFM / DFA and production readiness
• Supplier and manufacturing collaborationYou’ll have significant influence over how the hardware is designed, tested and ultimately manufactured.What we’re looking forYou’ll ideally bring:
• 5+ years of mechanical product-development experience
• A background in complex electronic or mechatronic hardware
• Strong 3D CAD experience — SolidWorks, Inventor, NX, Creo or similar
• Experience designing enclosures, precision mechanical assemblies or electronic packaging
• Strong understanding of manufacturing, GD&T, tolerances and DFM/DFA
• Hands-on experience with prototypes, testing and validationExperience with any of the following would be particularly valuable:
• PCB / PCBA mechanical integration
• Electronics cooling / heatsink design
• Thermal simulation / CFD / FEA
• RF or EMI/EMC shielding
• High-frequency electronics
• Scientific instrumentation
• Semiconductor equipment
• Photonics
• Aerospace / defence electronics
• Quantum hardwareYou do not need previous quantum-computing experience.What matters is that you’ve built sophisticated physical products and understand the interaction between mechanics, electronics, thermal performance and manufacturability.Delft, NetherlandsHybrid — around 3 days per week onsiteUp to €85,000 + equityIf you’re a Mechanical Engineer who enjoys solving difficult hardware problems and wants to work closer to genuinely cutting-edge technology, I’d love to hear from you.Apply directly or drop me a message for a confidential conversation.#MechanicalEngineering #MechanicalDesign #ProductDevelopment #DeepTech #QuantumComputing #HardwareEngineering #Mechatronics #EngineeringJobs #Delft #NetherlandsJobs
