About Us 

Maybell Quantum is redefining the future of computing. As a venture-backed quantum hardware innovator experiencing rapid growth, we're building technology that will transform industries for decades to come. Quantum computers will be as transformative to the next 30 years as the internet was to the last 30—and our team is creating the hardware foundation to make this revolution possible. 

We are seeking an Associate Product Engineer to support the development, improvement, and execution of our cryogenic systems. This role is ideal for a recent engineering graduate who enjoys working hands-on with hardware and wants to develop broad engineering experience in a fast-paced startup environment. 

Role Overview 

As a member of the Product team, you will work closely with Product Managers, Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, and Supply Chain to support the execution and continuous improvement of Maybell's products. You will spend time both on the production floor and working with cross-functional teams to build, troubleshoot, test, document, and improve complex cryogenic systems. 

This role provides an opportunity to develop a deep understanding of our products while building the technical and problem-solving skills necessary to grow into increasingly independent engineering responsibilities.
