Available position Mechanical Designer (permanent position, 40 hour per week) Contact: (819) 975-4654, career@nordquantique.ca About Nord Quantique At Nord Quantique, we strive to build impactful technology by relentlessly pushing our understanding of quantum science. We are an interdisciplinary team of scientists, engineers, innovators, builders, and enthusiasts on a mission to make quantum computing a reality. Our quantum processors are designed to reduce errors in quantum computation to facilitate long-term scaling toward fully-fledged quantum computers. We believe it is our responsibility to deliver this transformative technology for the greater good of society. Located at the heart of the beautiful Eastern Townships region in the province of Quebec, Canada, we develop our technology in the vibrant quantum ecosystem of Sherbrooke. Leaning on more than a decade of vertical integration of quantum hardware, we are leveraging a comprehensive pool of quantum technology and micro-electronic infrastructure to deploy our quantum computing technology Salary : $74,000 ? $85,000 Benefits : 5 weeks of vacation, group insurance (including dental care), virtual care, lifestyle spending account (all available after 3 months of service) Our current needs As we scale up our quantum processors and supporting infrastructure, we are seeking a skilled and self-driven Mechanical Designer to join our Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Team. This role focuses on the CAD of the cryogenic dilution refrigerators setups, assemblies of 3D resonator cavities and structural and thermal analysis of those. Key responsibilities: Develop CAD of 3D cavities, ensuring mechanical precision and compatibility with cryogenic environments and create technical drawings for fabrication. Explore mechanical elements of designs and manufacturing techniques in cavity designs to improve the repeatability of assembly. Conduct structural and thermal analysis on the cryogenic setup to support the payload and thermal performance, analytically and with FEA simulations. Design and document the cryogenic setups for dilution refrigerator systems. Maintain and organize CAD libraries, revision control, and documentation to support long-term system scaling and reproducibility. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Design, Quantum Hardware, and Nanofabrication) to iterate on designs. Coordinate with external vendors, suppliers, and development partners to support machining, sourcing, and integration activities. This is a dynamic role within a fast-paced, research-driven environment, offering the opportunity to contribute directly to the advancement of scalable quantum hardware. Education and experience requirements: Bachelor?s degree (BSc) or Master?s degree (MSc) in Mechanical Engineering or in related field with minimum 2 years of mechanical design experience. Must have industry experience with a proven track record in interdisciplinary R&D teams. Sought expertise and knowledge: Experience in CAD modeling and assembly design for precision mechanical systems, using Solidworks, Onshape or other advanced CAD software Demonstrated ability to optimize designs for repeatability required for scaling Experience with revision control and documentation of CAD Familiarity with Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFM/DFA) principles Excellent ability to deliver results within tight deadlines Experience with stress and thermal analysis using FEA simulation software Advanced level in English, to communicate with team members Location Sherbrooke , QC Work location On site Salary $ 74,000 to $ 85,000 YEAR annually Terms of employment Permanent employment Full time Starts as soon as possible vacancies 1 vacancy Source Jobillico #17123380 Various locations Sherbrooke, QC
Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
