Description
Diraq is redefining scalable quantum computing by enabling billions of qubits on a single chip—far beyond the hundreds available today—to unlock practical, commercial quantum applications. We are building a full-stack quantum computing company, delivering quantum hardware and software as a cloud-accessible service.
We are seeking an Electronics Engineer to support the development, integration and validation of advanced cryogenic test infrastructure used to evaluate next-generation quantum computing hardware.
This role combines electronic design, hardware integration, laboratory testing and systems engineering. You will design and maintain reliable, high-performance test platforms that enable the characterisation of quantum devices operating at cryogenic temperatures. Working within a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists and researchers, you will contribute to sophisticated measurement systems at the forefront of emerging quantum technologies.

- Demonstrated experience in electronics design, hardware development, test engineering, or closely related engineering environments.
- Strong electrical engineering fundamentals, including analogue and digital electronics, circuit analysis, grounding, shielding, power distribution and measurement principles.
- Experience with schematic capture and PCB design using Altium Designer or an equivalent tool.
- Demonstrated ability to bring up, test, debug and modify electronic hardware.
- Experience using laboratory instrumentation such as oscilloscopes, vector network analysers, spectrum analysers, signal generators,
source measure units and digital multimeters.
- Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to systematically identify root causes across complex hardware systems.
- Practical experience with soldering, PCB rework, cable assembly, connectors and prototype construction.
- Understanding of systems engineering principles, including requirements definition, interface management, verification, validation and configuration control.
- Ability to analyse measurement data and clearly communicate technical findings.
- Strong documentation discipline and attention to detail.
Desirable Experience
- Electronics or test infrastructure for cryogenic, quantum computing, semiconductor, RF, microwave or low-noise measurement applications.
- Signal integrity, impedance-controlled PCB design, RF transmission lines, grounding, shielding, filtering and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Cryogenic design constraints, including thermal loading, material selection, thermal contraction, connector reliability and temperature-dependent electrical behaviour.
- Automated test, data acquisition or data analysis using Python, MATLAB or similar tools.
- Design for manufacture, component selection, supplier engagement and prototype production.
- Engineering change control, document management and laboratory safety practices.
Personal Attributes
- Practical and comfortable working directly with hardware in a laboratory setting.
- Methodical and evidence-based when diagnosing technical issues.
- Able to manage competing priorities and progress work with a high degree of ownership.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
- Collaborative and comfortable working within a multidisciplinary engineering and scientific team.
- Curious, adaptable and motivated to develop knowledge of cryogenic and quantum computing technologies.
