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 support our growing R&D activities, we are looking for a CAD Engineer (f/m/d) who is eager to contribute hands-on to the development of advanced cryogenic infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- You support and own the construction and maintenance of product designs in CAD, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and readiness for manufacturing across all development stages.
- You design and develop new components and assemblies in close collaboration with a highly technical engineering team, contributing actively to technical solution finding.
- You evaluate components, assemblies, and designs with regard to defects, tolerances, and manufacturability, proactively identifying improvement opportunities.
- You create, review, and maintain technical drawings and associated documentation to support production, procurement, and assembly.
- You support the transition from prototype to series production, including iteration of CAD models based on test results, manufacturing feedback, and design reviews.
- You assemble prototypes and pre-series hardware hands-on, bringing first-hand insight into the buildability and practicality of your designs.
- You conduct and support testing of components and assemblies, closing the loop between design intent and real-world performance.
- You collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, production, and procurement to ensure designs meet technical, quality, and operational requirements.
Requirements
- You are a state-certified technician or have a degree in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
- You are proficient in a professional CAD tool; experience with Onshape specifically is a plus.
- You work in a structured and self-driven way, take ownership of your tasks, and are motivated to grow into independent design work within a technically demanding environment.
- You communicate fluently in English; German is a plus.
- Ideally you have already gained hands-on experience assembling hardware — you are comfortable on the bench, not just at the screen.
- Ideally you have already gained hands-on experience testing components and assemblies, and can translate test results into design improvements.
- Knowledge in prototyping and design for manufacturability is a plus; experience with tolerance analysis is a further plus.
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
