System Integration Engineer

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 (NovoJet) - fully developed and realized in-house

Integrated 2D/3D printing platform purpose-built for our technology

50+ talented professionals across multidisciplinary teams

International presence with offices in Berlin (HQ) and Barcelona

Well-funded through strategic VC partnerships

Our team spans printhead engineering, materials science, physics, mechanical and electronic engineering, software development, systems engineering, and commercial operations. With colleagues from five continents, English is our working language.

About the Role: Work Split:

60-70% Hands-on Lab | 20-30% Team Collaboration | Up to 20% Travel (Berlin / Customer sites)

We're hiring a

System Integration Engineer

who will play a central role in the integration and optimisation of Quantica's NovoJet printhead and printing systems to jet a wide range of advanced materials reliably. You will own printing and material integration end to end, from feasibility through parameter tuning and system configuration to reliability validation. You will work at the system level across the full print engine: fluidics, control software, telemetry, and the printhead driver electronics.

This is a hands-on role, with mostly onsite presence in our office in

Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona) . You will spend most of your time in the lab and you are expected to be comfortable across the whole integrated system rather than a single sub-domain. The printhead, electronics, and firmware are developed in-house and with our technology partners. You can influence those teams for deep sub-domain work. What matters is that you can

configure, interpret, and coordinate

around the integrated system to get materials jetting reliably.

The position bridges laboratory experimentation, system configuration, process tuning, and field integration, with close teamwork with customers, material partners, our electronics partner, and internal development teams.

Role & 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: assess whether a material can circulate and jet in the printing system, and characterise its operating envelope (thermal window, viscosity behaviour, material - component compatibility).

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 for specific material setups.

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 for engineering, manufacturing, and software teams.

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 such as interfaces, behaviour, and rework cycles, to keep new materials and system revisions on schedule.

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 such as circulation and life tests, duty-cycle and nozzle-reliability runs. Capture and interpret full telemetry over extended durations, and define maintenance baselines.

Assess and optimise print quality across both 2D and 3D contexts: drop placement, printhead-to-printhead registration, edge definition, and uniformity for 2D deposition on substrates. Layer-to-layer registration, dimensional accuracy, and surface finish for multi-layer, build-up applications. Develop diagnostic print patterns to quantify and track quality over one and multiple runs.
