About the team
The Sensing Engineering team at Q-CTRL transforms quantum research into deployable technologies that address real-world problems. We design, build, and field-validate an array of quantum sensors that support our key products, including Ironestone Opal - our solution for GPS-denied navigation.
You don’t need a background in quantum to make an impact here. We value strong engineering fundamentals, a product mindset, and a drive to solve the hardest engineering problems in quantum sensing today.
About the role
We are seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join the growing Sensing division at our laboratories in Sydney, Australia. This role supports the development of new quantum sensor prototypes and products, contributing to our growing efforts to deliver software-ruggedised quantum gravimeters, accelerometers, and magnetometers for GPS-denied navigation applications.
As a Senior Systems Engineer, you will provide technical leadership across the system design, integration, and validation lifecycle, ensuring that complex hardware and software subsystems operate together as a reliable, deployable system. You’ll apply structured systems engineering methods to transform cutting-edge scientific concepts into field-ready technology.
You will work closely with engineers and scientists to manage integration of subsystems spanning electronics, optics, mechanics, and software, and help validate complete systems in both lab and field environments. The ideal candidate will be an accomplished engineer with extensive experience in R&D environments, as well as aerospace or other mission-critical industries, and a passion for building technology that delivers real-world capability.
