Nomad Atomics is on a mission to make the broad uptake of quantum sensing a reality and simultaneously push the limits of our field beyond what we think is possible. We are building the world’s most advanced fit-for-purpose quantum sensors to allow us to see the world like never before.

Our team is made up of leaders in the quantum sensing field. We believe the time for commercial quantum sensing has come, and we are determined with making it happen.

We are growing here at Nomad Atomics – FAST. We are searching for people who want to finally take the commercial sensing game into the modern era of technology.

Who you are

You are a voracious learner, and you love building things. You do not shy away from taking on the impossible. You apply these principles to all parts of science and engineering and are excited to operate at the forefront of technology, gaining hands on experience in research & development across all stages of a product lifecycle.

It’s ok if you don’t have all the skills yet to build a quantum sensor, because you want to work with a global team of experts to fill in the gaps. You may have come from a large corporation or be fresh out of university but the idea of working in a fast-paced, highly iterative, and integrated team is exciting.

Your role

Working hand in     

You will be engaged daily in tasks like:

• Design, develop and test mechanical components and systems for our quantum sensor products
• Conduct testing and analysis to ensure that mechanical components meet performance and reliability requirements
• Use 3D CAD software (SolidWorks) to create detailed design drawings and specifications
• Work closely with physicists, electronic and software engineers, to integrate mechanical components into the overall system design

• Collaborate within the mechanical engineering team to participate with design reviews and idea generation
• Maintain part and assemblies within product life cycle (PLM) systems
• Work with external suppliers to build and maintain relationships to push the innovation of our products
• Collaborate with the manufacturing team to ensure that designs can be produced at scale
• Maintain a safe and organized lab/machine shop environment
• Assist with the maintenance of deployed sensors

It’s not about specifically where you have come from nor what qualifications you have. What truly matters is that you are an impossibly fast learner. The types of things people applying for this role have done prior to Nomad are things like:

• B.Sc or M.Sc in mechanical, aerospace, mechatronics engineering or related field
• Ideally 1 to 3 years of experience designing and prototyping precision mechanical systems
• Proficiency in 3D CAD software
• Experience designing for a range of manufacturing technics including CNC machined parts
• Experience with finite element analysis (FEA) and simulation tools
• Ideally, experience designing flexure components and optomechanical systems
• Ideally, experience designing system that tightly integrate electrical components
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with experience working in a small cross-functional teams
• Highly initiative with an ability to work both independently and within collaborative team
• Ability to be hands on for manufacturing & assembling of jigs, prototypes & products

If you think you’re right for the role, but don’t have some of these skills, reach out – we’d love to talk anyway.  

The role is full-time and based in Melbourne, Australia.

We have the flexibility to work from home from time to time, but mostly it’s getting your hands dirty in our shiny labs.

We offer a competitive salary, employee share option package and opportunities for professional growth and advancement.

What you’ll do

• Using your expertise in modern agile practices, you’ll contribute to planning, building and supporting great software solutions that deliver quality at scale, automating where possible.   
• Be involved in all aspects of software engineering practices including breaking down work, code review, testing, source control, build processes 
• Collaborate and build great connections with your own team, the wider Carsales family 
• Create and enhance team culture, by sharing your knowledge and ideas, giving and receiving constructive feedback 

We have an exciting opportunity for an Environmental Scientist / Engineer to join our Environmental Team based in Melbourne. In this role, you will assist with fieldwork, report writing and project management of multiple concurrent contamination investigations and remediation projects.

What will a day in this role look like:

• Work autonomously on preliminary and detailed site investigations and site validation reports.
• Plan, manage and supervise field work activities across a range of projects including acting in Principal Contractor supervisor roles
• Use your technical knowledge and prior experience to manage projects independently.
• Liaise with clients and sub-contractors on site working on projects across the Defence, Oil & Gas, Transport, Mining, Water and Energy sectors.
• Work on a variety of projects throughout the full project lifecycle including assisting technical leaders and senior advisors with bids and tenders.
• Relevant experience (ideally 2 - 4 years) in a consultancy environment, or related industry specifically in contaminated land assessment and remediation. 

What you get to do in this role

• Operate and troubleshoot multi-vendor network to identify and resolve issues quickly.
• Take a lead role in the engagement and mitigation of outage causing events or issues.
• Validate problem descriptions and perform detailed problem diagnosis; track and update problems in trouble-ticketing system.
• Perform non-critical investigations into functionality that is not working as desired.
• Engage deeply in the sustainment function to proactively analyze network parameters such as capacity and availability to ensure issues are fixed before they cause an outage.
• Review, consult and prepare for planned change introduction to production environment.
• Participate in rotating “on call” schedule with other members of the team including weekends.
• Partner with teams to plan and execute software code upgrades and device maintenance.
• Partner with the Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team to provide mentorship and input on operational process improvements.
• Provide feedback to infrastructure architects on design issues or improvements and input into the design process for new initiatives.
• Design and deploy networks based on business and technical requirements.
• Partner with project and program managers to meet overall timelines and resolution of issues.
