Assembler / Fine Mechanic

Are you a hands-on Assembler / Fine Mechanic who enjoys precision work and contributing to advanced hardware development? We are seeking a hands-on detail-oriented and proactive individual to join our production team, assembling and fine-tuning high-performance cryogenic components used in quantum technologies. If you take pride in craftsmanship, enjoy problem-solving, and want to be part of a collaborative engineering environment, this role could be a great fit.

The role includes:

• Assemble mechanical and electromechanical components and subassemblies according to technical drawings, work instructions, and quality standards

• Perform precision fine-mechanical operations such as cutting, filing, deburring, polishing, and fitting of small parts

• Solder, crimp, and connect wiring and RF/coaxial cables where required, following IPC or company soldering procedures

• Conduct visual inspections and functional tests; document results and identify nonconformities

• Calibrate and adjust components to meet tight tolerances and performance specifications

• Work closely with R&D and quality teams to support prototype builds and iterative design improvements

• Maintain a clean, organized work place and adhere to safety, ESD, and handling protocols for sensitive components

Required skills and qualifications:

• Vocational training or technical diploma in mechanical engineering, precision mechanics, or a related trade, or equivalent hands-on experience

• Proven experience in assembly and fine mechanical work, ideally with small, high-precision components

• Good manual dexterity and experience using hand tools, microscopes, tweezers, and measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers)

• Basic soldering skills and familiarity with wiring and cable assembly

• Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, assembly instructions, and bill of materials

• Strong attention to detail and the ability to work precisely under time constraints

• Fluency in professional English, spoken and written

Preferable skills:

• Experience with cleanroom procedures or working in controlled environments

• Experience in reading technical reports and ERP systems

• Knowledge of quality systems and experience with inspection documentation

• Familiarity with basic testing equipment and methods for electromechanical assemblies

• Experience with cryogenic hardware, vacuum systems, or RF/coax assemblies - this is more of a good-to-have experience and not a requirement

We are looking for someone who is:

Reliable, self-motivated, and comfortable working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. You have a methodical mindset and take ownership of your workmanship, striving for consistent quality. You are curious about improving processes and enjoy collaborating with engineers and technicians to turn prototypes into producible solutions. Strong communication skills and a willingness to learn new techniques are essential.

About us: SCALINQ is a prominent player in the growing field of quantum computing. Our core focus is the development of state-of-the-art cryogenic hardware.
