Job Description

A submarine navigating the ocean depths.

A spacecraft far from Earth’s orbit.

A rescue team searching for survivors underground.

These are just a few places where GPS simply doesn't work. 

Without a reliable way to measure magnetic fields, these environments remain uncharted.

But what if you could change that?

A deep tech company is developing a breakthrough quantum sensing technology that could transform the way we navigate, detect anomalies, and explore the unknown. 

By combining quantum physics with advanced chip-scale manufacturing, they are building one of the world’s most precise magnetometers - and they need an Engineering Manager to make it a reality.

Your Role in This Mission

You will turn scientific innovation into a real-world product. 

At the intersection of optics, electronics, and embedded software, you will bring together all the elements needed to build a scalable, deployable quantum sensor.

Working alongside quantum physicists, embedded software engineers, and electronics designers, you will solve complex challenges in sensor arrays and signal processing, ensuring the system is both robust and scalable. 

Your work will lay the foundation for next-generation sensors, shaping advancements that will redefine navigation and detection for years to come.

Who You Are

• Over the years, you’ve built and refined complex hardware/software systems, turning concepts into working prototypes.

• You have a background in sensing technologies, navigation, or imaging and thrive on tackling multidisciplinary challenges.

• You’re hands-on with hardware design, ideally in an FPGA environment - you don’t just design; you build, test, and refine.

Why Now?

This isn’t about incremental improvements. It’s about building a revolutionary sensing technology from the ground up.

• Join a backed, fast-moving team - funding is secured, and strategic partnerships are in place.

• Shape a deep tech breakthrough - your work will define the engineering strategy for a first-of-its-kind quantum sensor.

• Work where physics meets engineering - this is one of the most exciting technical challenges in quantum sensing today.
