Cryogenic Hardware Engineer Burnaby

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.
