About the team
The Sensing Engineering team at Q-CTRL transforms quantum research into deployable technologies that address real-world problems.
We design, build, and field-validate an array of quantum sensors that support our key products, including Ironestone Opal - our solution for GPS-denied navigation.
You don't need a background in quantum to make an impact here.
We value strong engineering fundamentals, a product mindset, and a drive to solve the hardest engineering problems in quantum sensing today.
About the role
We are seeking an exceptionally skilled and intuitive Precision Mechanical Technician to join our rapid-paced Quantum Sensing team.
In this role, you will work across our cutting-edge Gravimetry and Magnetometry R&D; groups to turn high-level scientific concepts into physical reality.
This is not a production assembly line job.
You will be working almost exclusively on custom, one-off or low volume prototypes and ultra-delicate assemblies.
We need a natural problem solver-someone with outstanding mechanical intuition who thrives in an R&D; environment, handles high-stakes precision hardware with extreme care, and can figure out how to build complex systems even when step-by-step instructions don't exist yet.
Note on Quantum Experience: You do not need a background in quantum mechanics or quantum hardware!




We have world-class scientists to handle the physics-we need your exceptional mechanical craftsmanship to bring the hardware to life.
About Q-CTRL
Q-CTRL is the global leader in AI-powered quantum control infrastructure software.
We build the tools that make quantum technology useful, solving the hardest challenges in quantum computing and quantum sensing to deliver real-world impact.
Founded in ****, we operate globally with offices in Sydney, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berlin, and Oxford.
Our teams bring together technical and multi-disciplinary expertise across the product lifecycle, and we're hiring talent to help scale every part of the business.
We work quickly to turn cutting-edge science into deployable technology.
In **** we raised US$113 million in Series B funding, the largest aggregate investment for a quantum software company.
Six months later we delivered the first commercial quantum advantage with Ironstone Opal, our field-validated quantum navigation solution for defense and industry.
At Q-CTRL, we prioritize outcomes over hours.
We offer flexibility, equity potential, and competitive benefits that reflect our high-performance culture.
If you're ready to help shape the future of quantum, we'd love to hear from you!
