About the job

As a member of the Quantum Platforms Engineering team, the Mechanical Systems Engineer will create new complex hardware and carry it through the design, prototyping, and integration phases of development. This role requires an individual who can manage multiple complex projects in various phases of development in parallel, as well as coordinate with multiple internal and external vendors during manufacturing.

The full potential of quantum computing will be unlocked with a large-scale computer capable of complex, error-corrected computations. Google Quantum AI’s mission is to build this computer and unlock solutions to classically intractable problems. Our roadmap is focused on advancing the capabilities of quantum computing and enabling meaningful applications.

The US base salary range for this full-time position is $126,000-$181,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location.
