Cryogenics Systems Engineer II

Analyze, troubleshoot, and improve cryogenic systems for D-Wave’s quantum computers from the Burnaby hardware team. Approximately 10% travel across North America and Europe is expected.

In this Engineer II role, you will combine thermal, vacuum, gas handling, instrumentation, and control knowledge with hands-on measurement. You will design and refine hardware, test proposed changes, support multidisciplinary integration, and produce records others can use. The assignment requires independent technical work, clear communication, flexible schedules when needed, and participation in an on-call rotation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Investigate faults through measurement and hands-on troubleshooting
• Refine cryogenic hardware from concept through documented verification
• Evaluate design tradeoffs using engineering fundamentals and data
• Support new hardware integration with engineering teams
• Travel to customer and company sites as required

Requirements:

• Three or more years with cryogenic equipment or systems
• Experience designing and testing product hardware changes
• Knowledge of vacuum, gas handling equipment, and leak detection
• Ability to obtain and maintain a valid passport
• Willingness to support on-call and after-hours schedules

Use cryogenic systems knowledge, fault diagnosis, and hardware verification to improve performance and reliability across D-Wave’s quantum platforms.
