Alice&Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems. The quantum computer we envision building is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. In comparison to other superconducting platforms, cat qubits have the astonishing ability to implement quantum error correction autonomously! We are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology. We are 65 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us!
The role
As a Superconducting Qubit Design Engineer, you will be part of the development of our new, cutting-edge microwave architecture embedding the superconducting resonators, and specifically designed to preserve and control their quantum states. Your mission will be to develop, simulate and troubleshoot microwave circuits and their controls. You will work hand in hand with the experimental physicists building the quantum processor and develop state-of-the-art hardware to control and design an ever more complex system. Your responsibilities will include:
Numerical simulations for the on-chip circuit and its packaging
Accurate prediction of interface losses
Accurate prediction of inter resonator couplings
Design, development and troubleshoot of room temperature hardware (filters, PCBs, etc.)
Design of the architecture of the upcoming multi-qubits circuits
Requirements
The job has been made for you if you have:
An MSc or PhD degree in electrical/microwave engineering or related subject
5 years of relevant experience
Experience with EDA software Ansys HFSS
Experience in Python programming
Experience with PCB layout software
Strong knowledge in transmission line theory and wave propagation
Knowledge on passive and active RF/MW components
Experience in cryogenics and/or quantum mechanics (icing on the cake)
Additionally, you are:
Seeking excellence and thrilled by challenges Innovative and resourceful, able to work independently
Team-spirited, prone to share information and curious of others’ work
Benefits
Joining Alice & Bob, you can expect the following:
25-day vacation policy (as per French law) + RTT
Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for the die-hard bicycle users
Competitive health benefits with Alan Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen
Parental benefits with crèche support
Contribution to sports, artistic & cultural activities
Flexible remote policy, up to 25 % a month.
You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer! We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
