System Integration Engineer

Your mission We are transforming analog manufacturing into digital.Quantica is a venture-backed additive manufacturing technology company pioneering breakthrough printhead innovation.We've developed proprietary high-viscosity jetting technology in-house that enables professionals to print with functional materials previously considered impossible.What sets us apart: Proprietary high-viscosity printhead technology (NovoJetTM) - fully developed and realized in-house Integrated 2D/3D printing platform purpose-built for our technology 50+ talented professionals across multidisciplinary teams International team with offices in Berlin (HQ) and Barcelona Well-funded through strategic VC partnerships About the Role: Location: Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona, Spain (English-speaking environment) Work Split: *****% Hands-on Lab | *****% Team Collaboration | Up to 20% Travel (Berlin / Customer sites) We are seeking a System Integration Engineer to own the end-to-end integration and optimization of Quantica's NovoJet printing systems.In this highly hands-on lab role, you will work across the entire print engine-fluidics, control software, telemetry, and driver electronics-to ensure advanced materials jet reliably.Positioned at the intersection of lab experimentation and field integration, you will collaborate closely with internal development teams, technology partners, and customers.While you can influence sub-domain experts in firmware or electronics, your core focus is configuring, diagnosing, and tuning the integrated system as a whole.Your profile Key Responsibilities: Requirements & Feasibility Capture jetting, process, and print-quality requirements with partners and customers, and translate them into testable system requirements.Run both customer-led and internal feasibility studies.Document experimental results and establish initial process baselines.System & Parameter Integration Configure and integrate the full NovoJet system (fluidics, control electronics, printheads and relevant subsystems).Define, implement, and tune all necessary process parameters, and establish repeatable calibration and operation procedures.Work fluently with the cell's control software and high-volume telemetry: process and interpret the telemetry streams (pressure, temperature, flow) computationally to characterise and diagnose system behaviour, and configure operating parameters accordingly.Implementation Planning & Coordination Translate feasibility outcomes into actionable implementation plans.Define interface requirements between the mechanical, fluidic, electrical, and control subsystems of the printing system and the industrial environments it is placed in.Coordinate cross-functional alignment on integration topics.Hands-On System Optimisation & Validation Perform iterative tuning and validation using benchtop and drop-watcher setups, including waveform tuning and high-speed jetting diagnostics.Plan and run reliability and endurance testing.Capture and interpret full telemetry over extended durations, and define maintenance baselines.Assess and optimise print quality across both 2D and 3D contexts.Produce qualification reports and supporting documentation for internal and external stakeholders.Customer & Partner Support Work directly with customers and partners during requirements definition, system setup, and process tuning.Demonstrate integration and performance results during evaluations.Provide technical feedback to improve usability, reliability, and serviceability of the printing system.Act as a key technical liaison between Quantica's development teams and external partners.What you bring: Degree in Mechatronics, Materials Science, Physics, or a related engineering discipline.5+ years of experience with precision mechatronic or fluidic systems (inkjet, dispensing, microfluidics, or additive manufacturing).Proven hands-on experience with complex system tuning, instrumentation, and experimental validation.Working understanding of control loops, actuation systems, and thermal/fluidic behaviour.Practical experience with high-speed imaging / drop-watcher diagnostics and waveform tuning.Comfortable processing and interpreting high-volume telemetry and configuring the control software around it.Strong data analytic and interpretation skills.Fluency with Python or a comparable language for data handling and analysis, increasingly by working effectively with AI coding assistants.Strong, structured technical documentation skills.Excellent proactive team working and technical leadership skills.Fluency in English; German and/or Spanish language skills are a plus.Nice to have: Experience with printhead-based or inkjet material deposition systems.Knowledge of jetting complex materials.Telemetry processing and insight generation.Experience coordinating with external electronics or hardware vendors on integration and rework.Comfort in customer-facing roles.Why us?We offer: A truly open-minded and supportive work environment with a high level of employee empowerment Flexible working hours An international environment in a diverse team Competitive salary Excellent location near Barcelona Professional development and career advancement opportunities Working in an inspiring environment of a think tank, workshop, laboratory, collaborating with distributed colleagues Free snacks, fruits, coffee and tea About us Quantica is an additive manufacturing technology company that has developed its own printhead technology.Our novel printhead technology enables professionals to print using functional materials previously deemed impossible.Quantica ´s headquarters is located in Berlin, and we have an office in Barcelona as well.We employ people from a multitude of disciplines, such as printhead engineers, material scientists, physicists, mechanical engineers, electronic engineers, software developers, system engineers as well as business and marketing specialists.As our team comes from diverse backgrounds and from all over the world, our most used and default language is English.
