Cryogenic Systems Engineer

We are seeking an experienced Cryogenic Systems Engineer to join Equal1’s cryomechanical and quantum system integration team. In this role, you will oversee the development of compact mK cryocooler systems from concept through design, assembly, testing, certification, and customer delivery.

You will work with absorption and GM coolers, and support the development of Joule-Thomson cryogenic turbocompressor systems with compression cycles at the 4K / 30K temperature stages. The role requires strong cryogenic system design experience, thermodynamic and gas-flow modelling capability, and practical knowledge of vacuum systems, helium handling, CAD, assembly, and temperature control.

Main Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop thermodynamic and gas-flow concepts for cryogenic cooling systems, including He-4 and He-3 cycles.

• Simulate and analyse cooling cycles, gas flows, thermal performance, and system behaviour.

• Define concepts and requirements for cryogenic components and work with CAD/mechanical teams to realise the designs.

• Support the design and integration of Joule-Thomson cryogenic turbocompressor systems.

• Oversee manufacturing, assembly, integ
