Cryogenic Hardware Design
▸ Own the mechanical design of cryogenic hardware from 300 K to millikelvin — thermal anchoring, RF wiring, flex interconnects, coaxial routing, filter housings, and connector packaging across all temperature stages.
▸ Lead the full design lifecycle: concept, CAD, GD&T drawings, BOMs, tolerance analysis, prototype builds, qualification testing, and manufacturing release.
▸ Define cryogenic mechanical interfaces and thermal conduction budgets; drive design-for-manufacturability with external machine shops and precision vendors.
▸ Perform mechanical, thermal, and vibration analyses independently using COMSOL, ANSYS, or equivalent; use simulation results to drive design decisions and iteration.
▸ Conduct tolerance stack-up analyses for multi-component assemblies in constrained cryostat environments.
Integration, Leadership & Collaboration
▸ Lead prototype builds, system integration, and cryogenic bring-up; diagnose integration failures and drive root cause analysis.
▸ Serve as the mechanical lead in cross-functional programs alongside quantum physicists, RF engineers, and systems teams, mentor junior engineers and lead design reviews.
▸ Maintain rigorous documentation — CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and revision-controlled design records — within the company PLM system.
