  • Demonstrated experience working with machine shops and contract manufacturers
  • Practical electrical skills: soldering, wiring, and basic troubleshooting with a multimeter
Nice to have
  • Experience with supplier quality tools and methods (FMEA, 8D, CAPA, PPAP, SPC) — familiarity is valued; certification is not expected

What the job really is

The Mechanical Engineer at QuEra Computing Japan will engage in a hands-on role focused on mechanical design and support for quantum computing systems. Responsibilities include creating CAD models, assembling and troubleshooting hardware, and collaborating with suppliers. The position emphasizes a practical approach, requiring the engineer to manage both design and operational aspects of the quantum computer.

Things to weigh
  • The role is broad and hands-on, which may not suit those looking for specialized design work
  • Requires business-level proficiency in both Japanese and English, which may limit applicants
  • The position involves significant interaction with suppliers and contract manufacturers, which may require strong communication skills across cultures
