Arbetsbeskrivning

AdamantQ is a deep-tech start-up dedicated to delivering state-of-the-art diamond-based quantum technology. We are looking for a skilled and experienced Hardware Engineer with a growth mindset.

The role

As a Hardware Engineer at AdamantQ, your main responsibilities lie in the development and optimisation of both our component architectures, and our assembly and testing procedures. You are continuously looking for new approaches and solutions to ensure our systems function reliably in a variety of environments, while finding ways to decrease their size and power consumption without sacrificing their performance and robustness. Our guiding principle is to constantly improve the SWaPC characteristics (Size, Weight and Performance, and Cost) for all our components, while tailoring performance to our customer requirements. Our systems are primarily integrated electronic devices which rely on the meticulous electronic control of spin systems in artificial diamonds.

The role will involve working within a multi-disciplinary team, with a broad skills base and wide range of technical backgrounds, to tackle the challenges of industrialising quantum sensor components for real commercial impact. It is anticipated that the candidate has the drive and potential to evolve into a team-lead, as they build proficiency and generate technical insight to help shape our product portfolio and roadmap.
