Overview We’re hiring a Senior CAD Configurator / Lead Designer to own and maintain the master SolidWorks CAD environment for next-generation quantum computing hardware. This person will be the go-to SolidWorks superuser responsible for data integrity, top-level assembly health, and ensuring that complex mechanical + electrical + routed systems all fit and connect correctly. This is a highly cross-functional role supporting a large, evolving master model with contributions from multiple engineers/designers.

What You’ll Do Own master CAD model integrity for a complex quantum hardware system (large top-level assemblies, configurations, and interconnect-heavy builds). Fix and prevent broken references, missing mates, suppressed features, incorrect configurations, and assembly performance issues. Establish guardrails so new contributions don’t degrade the master model.

Build and maintain a master skeleton / layout structure and implement ICDs (Interface Control Documents): Serve as the escalation point for CAD problems and complex rebuild issues. Drive a CAD audit of an existing implementation Evaluate structure, dependencies, modeling practices, and performance bottlenecks. Support full lifecycle design of supporting hardware that enables the quantum computer system: Equipment racks, mounts, brackets, integration hardware, cable management, and mechanical packaging.

Required Qualifications ~5–10+ years of experience in mechanical design / CAD configuration supporting complex assemblies. ~ Deep expertise in SolidWorks (advanced assemblies, configurations, references, large design review practices). ~ Proven experience owning/maintaining a master CAD model with multiple contributors (data integrity mindset). ~ Experience working with large assemblies (thousands of parts) and complex integration constraints. ~ Strong systems thinking — understands mechanical packaging, routing, interfaces, and integration, not just individual parts.
