Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world’s most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.

Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined with making it happen.

We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.

Who you are

You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of science and engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology development.  You are an expert in your field and are ready to jump head first into the strange world of quantum sensing.

It’s ok if you don’t have all the skills yet to build a quantum sensor, because you want to work with a global team of experts to fill in the gaps. You may have come from a large corporation or be fresh out of university but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.

Your role

Working as part of an experienced team, you will be responsible for, and deeply embedded in, the end-to-end development and deployment of our sensors and will be engaged daily to:

• Develop comprehensive test and evaluation plans and procedures.
• Design, inspect, test, and update electronic systems, components, and equipment.
• Collaborate closely with engineers, scientists, and other professionals to ensure projects are completed to exact specifications.
• Ensure all equipment and products meet stringent health and safety regulations.
• Evaluate existing processes and provide recommendations for enhancement.
• Develop robust maintenance, testing, and quality control procedures.
• Demonstrate proactive initiative in staying abreast of advancements in Electronics.
• Monitor processes and systems, establish effective relationships with stakeholders, vendors, and suppliers.
• Write specifications, instructions, reports, and handle necessary administrative duties.
• Proficient in using laboratory instruments such as Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, etc.
• Experienced in PCB design using Altium Designer.
• Possess in-depth knowledge of the PCB assembly process with expertise in PCB component soldering, troubleshooting, and issue resolution.
• Seek an Electronics Engineer with a genuine passion for electronics, ideally someone dynamic, agile, and enthusiastic who thrives in a multidisciplinary team environment.

Requirements

It’s not about specifically where you have come from nor what qualifications you have. What truly matters is that you are an impossibly fast learner. The types of things people applying for this role have done prior to Nomad are things like:

• Bachelor Electrical, Electronics, Computer Systems, Embedded Systems or related discipline.
• Australian Citizenship, PR Holder.
• PCB design using Altium Designer (essential).
• Experience in programming in embedded C ,  C++ and python.
• Analogue and Digital circuit design.
• Miniaturised electronics.
• Debugging and fault-finding circuits.
• Surface mount assembly and rework.

If you think you’re right for the role, but don’t have some of these skills, reach out – we’d love to talk anyway.

Benefits

The role is full-time and based in Melbourne, Australia.

We have the flexibility to work from home from time to time, but mostly it’s getting your hands dirty in our shiny labs.

We offer a competitive salary, employee share option package and opportunities for professional growth and advancement.
