With ~15,000 employees supporting customers in over 100 countries, Keysight provides industry-leading solutions across communications, HPC, quantum, aerospace, defense, automotive, and semiconductor markets.\nWithin Keysight’s Quantum Engineering Solutions (QES) division, we are advancing the control infrastructure that powers next-generation quantum computing. Building on our recent success delivering a 1,000-qubit quantum control system, we are now developing a high-density, HPC/datacenter-ready portfolio of quantum control products ranging from compact modules to fully integrated rack-level systems.\nWe are seeking a Mechanical Engineer who will contribute to mechanical architecture, packaging design, and system-level development for this next-generation quantum control product family. This role covers concept development, design, analysis, testing, and collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams. Candidates with strong mechanical engineering skills and interest in advanced electronic systems are highly encouraged to apply-even if they do not meet every listed qualification.\nThis is a unique opportunity to influence the physical design of quantum computing infrastructure and work with leading experts across mechanical, electrical, thermal, and system engineering.\nResponsibilities\nContribute to mechanical and electro-mechanical design for Keysight’s next-generation quantum control systems, from early concepts through production release.\nParticipate in the development of high-density mechanical platforms designed for HPC/datacenter environments, including rack-ready enclosures, modular assemblies, and service-friendly designs.\nSupport the development of thermal management solutions-including liquid cooling, airflow optimization, heat exchangers, heat pipes, and cold plates-for high-power, high-channel-count control electronics.\nPerform engineering analyses (thermal, structural, airflow, manufacturability) and provide input to guide design decisions.\nCreate 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and documentation following ANSI standards.\nAssist with validation and verification activities, including prototype testing for thermal performance, vibration, and long-term reliability.\nWork closely with electrical, RF/uW, FPGA, firmware, and software teams to ensure smooth integration across all system elements.\nCollaborate with internal and external manufacturing teams to support DFM, DFT, assembly processes, and supplier engagement.\nResearch new materials, fabrication methods, and mechanical technologies that can improve performance, manufacturability, or cost.\nContribute to long-term mechanical design strategies for scalable quantum control product development.\nQualifications\nRequirement\nBS degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field\nProficiency with 3D CAD tools (Siemens NX preferred) and familiarity with ANSI drafting standards.\nAbility to perform mechanical or thermal simulations (NX Flow or similar is a plus).\nStrong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines in a fast-paced R&D environment.\nFluency in both Japanese and English (written and spoken) is required to collaborate effectively with local teams and global R&D groups.\nHighly organized, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to advanced technology development.\nPreferred\nMS degree preferred.\nExperience in electro-mechanical design, electronics packaging, or complex mechanical systems (experience with high-density or rack-mounted systems is a plus).\nKnowledge of thermal management methods such as airflow design, liquid cooling, heat pipes, cold plates, or related technologies.\nFamiliarity with common fabrication processes (sheet metal, machined parts, plastics, extrusions).\nExperience transferring designs to manufacturing engineers and supporting production.\nFamiliarity with HPC/datacenter equipment, server packaging, networking hardware, or industrial electronics is helpful but not required.\nHands-on prototyping and debugging skills; comfortable using common bench tools and test equipment.\nExperience with reliability and environmental testing (thermal cycling, vibration, shock) is a plus.\nCandidates who meet many-but not necessarily all-of the above qualifications are encouraged to apply.\nWe value strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, willingness to learn, and the ability to grow into the full scope of the role.\nContribute to mechanical and electro-mechanical design for Keysight’s next-generation quantum control systems, from early concepts through production release.\nParticipate in the development of high-density mechanical platforms designed for HPC/datacenter environments, including rack-ready enclosures, modular assemblies, and service-friendly designs.\nSupport the development of thermal management solutions-including liquid cooling, airflow optimization, heat exchangers, heat pipes, and cold plates-for high-power, high-channel-count control electronics.\nPerform engineering analyses (thermal, structural, airflow, manufacturability) and provide input to guide design decisions.\nCreate 3D CAD models, engineering drawings, and documentation following ANSI standards.\nAssist with validation and verification activities, including prototype testing for thermal performance, vibration, and long-term reliability.\nWork closely with electrical, RF/uW, FPGA, firmware, and software teams to ensure smooth integration across all system elements.\nCollaborate with internal and external manufacturing teams to support DFM, DFT, assembly processes, and supplier engagement.\nResearch new materials, fabrication methods, and mechanical technologies that can improve performance, manufacturability, or cost.\nContribute to long-term mechanical design strategies for scalable quantum control product development.\nRequirement\nBS degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field\nProficiency with 3D CAD tools (Siemens NX preferred) and familiarity with ANSI drafting standards.\nAbility to perform mechanical or thermal simulations (NX Flow or similar is a plus).\nStrong communication skills and ability to collaborate across disciplines in a fast-paced R&D environment.\nFluency in both Japanese and English (written and spoken) is required to collaborate effectively with local teams and global R&D groups.\nHighly organized, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to advanced technology development.\nPreferred\nMS degree preferred.\nExperience in electro-mechanical design, electronics packaging, or complex mechanical systems (experience with high-density or rack-mounted systems is a plus).\nKnowledge of thermal management methods such as airflow design, liquid cooling, heat pipes, cold plates, or related technologies.\nFamiliarity with common fabrication processes (sheet metal, machined parts, plastics, extrusions).\nExperience transferring designs to manufacturing engineers and supporting production.\nFamiliarity with HPC/datacenter equipment, server packaging, networking hardware, or industrial electronics is helpful but not required.\nHands-on prototyping and debugging skills;
