Location: Europe (ON-SITE) Reach out for specific details (reece.waldon@darwinrecruitment.com)
Role Type: Full-time

About the Role

We’re looking for a Cryogenics Engineer to support the development, optimisation, and operation of low-temperature systems used in advanced scientific and engineering environments. You’ll work hands‑on with experimental setups, cooling systems, and precision instrumentation to enable stable, high‑performance cryogenic conditions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and refine cryogenic systems and subsystems (e.g., dilution units, cryocoolers, vacuum assemblies).
• Manage installation, commissioning, and ongoing operation of cryogenic equipment.
• Troubleshoot thermal, mechanical, or vacuum-related issues affecting system performance.
• Develop and maintain system documentation, schematics, and test procedures.
• Collaborate with internal teams to define requirements, test conditions, and performance targets.
• Monitor system behaviour and implement improvements to stability, reliability, and efficiency.
• Coordinate with suppliers and vendors on component selection and technical specifications.
• Ensure safety standards and protocols for cryogenic handling are maintained.

Required Experience

• Background in Cryogenics, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field.
• Practical experience working with low-temperature equipment or refrigeration systems.
• Solid understanding of vacuum technologies, thermal management, and cryogenic instrumentation.
• Experience diagnosing issues in complex experimental or engineering setups.
• Ability to read and create technical drawings, specifications, and system architecture.
• Familiarity with refrigeration cycles and cryogenic materials.

Nice to Have

• Experience in low-noise measurement setups or precision laboratory environments.
• Knowledge of automated control systems or scripting tools (e.g., LabVIEW, Python).
• Experience integrating cryogenic systems into multi-disciplinary engineering workflows.
• Understanding of microwave/RF systems or specialised measurement equipment (optional).

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on challenging technical problems in a high-impact engineering environment.
• A collaborative team focused on innovation and continuous improvement.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Access to modern lab facilities and advanced cryogenic equipment.
