Design and test cryogenic hardware at D-Wave in Burnaby, applying engineering analysis and hands-on troubleshooting to quantum computers.
As a Cryogenics Engineer II, you will independently drive assigned projects from planning through implementation and verification. Your work covers cryogenic components, subsystems, experiments, and operating data. You will collaborate with mechanical, electrical, processor development, software, and operations teams to improve system performance and reliability.
Key Responsibilities:
Design, prototype, test, and refine cryogenic components
Plan experiments characterizing cryogenic system performance
Analyze test data and investigate performance limits
Troubleshoot thermal, vacuum, gas handling, and controls issues
Prepare test plans, procedures, and technical reports
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, or related field
Three or more years with cryogenic equipment or systems
Experience with vacuum, gas handling, and leak detection
Ability to drive technical work independently
Willingness to travel and participate in on-call rotation
Apply cryogenics, measured data, and hardware verification expertise to advance reliable quantum computing systems at D-Wave.
