kiutraDo you want to shape the future as part of a diverse, international team in a fast-growing, deep-tech company? Then read on! At kiutra, we contribute to the development and application of quantum technologies by offering innovative and sustainable cooling solutions based on our unique magnetic cooling technology.

To strengthen our team, we are looking for a Cryo Engineer (f/m/d) who is eager to drive the development of our magnetic cooling systems for applied quantum technologies – from simulation through hardware prototyping to production readiness.
Responsibilities
• You support research and development activities on magnetic refrigeration for applied quantum technologies, with a focus on quantum computing
• You plan, coordinate, and support the development and fabrication of hardware prototypes and their key components
• You actively contribute to FEM simulations analyzing the mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties of the systems
• You create CAD models of new systems, iterate them across development stages, and bring them to production readiness
• You create, maintain, and update technical documentation for prototypes and systems
• You ensure that assigned tasks and work packages are completed within agreed timelines
• You regularly report on development progress internally and to funding agencies if applicable
• You are responsible for quality control and release processes within the PLM system, ensuring that hardware, documentation, and bills of materials comply with defined quality and release standards

Requirements
• PhD or a completed Master's degree with 3–5 years of relevant professional experience in physics, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a related field
• Hands-on experience in cryogenic engineering (e.g. ADR, dilution refrigerators, pulse tube coolers) and/or in applied quantum technology (e.g. quantum computing hardware), including the relevant mechanical, thermal, and magnetic design aspects
• Proficient with CAD software for designing and iterating mechanical assemblies through to production readiness
• Experience with FEM simulation tools (e.g. ANSYS, COMSOL) for mechanical, thermal, and/or magnetic analysis
• Ideally, experience with PLM systems and with quality control and release processes in a hardware development environment
• Structured, self-driven way of working – you keep track of multiple parallel work packages and timelines
• Fluent English, particularly for engaging with international partners and funding agencies; German language skills are a plus. On-site presence in Munich

Benefits
• You will enjoy flexibility with options for remote work and flexible working hours
• You will experience an open-minded, appreciative startup atmosphere with flat hierarchies and an open-door policy
• You will work with a great team in a fast-growing deep-tech company
• You can expect regular performance reviews and long-term job prospects
• You can look forward to 30 vacation days per year
• You will have the chance to participate in valuable employee surveys
• You will work in a comfortable, bright and modern office with ergonomic equipment in compliance with health requirements
• You can benefit from “The Coolest Connection”, our employee referral program
• You will have the opportunity to get to know your team members better at our teambuilding events, Christmas parties, and other group events
• You will have free cold and hot drinks, snacks, and fruit at your disposal
• You can benefit from our company's pension plan, our bicycle leasing program (Jobrad), and contribution for the Deutschland-Ticket Jobticket
