Job description

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, and we are growing fast after securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology.

Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!

As a Microwave Engineer, you will be part of the development of our new, cutting-edge microwave architecture embedding superconducting resonators and Qubits, specifically designed to preserve and control their quantum states.

Your mission will be to develop, simulate and troubleshoot superconducting microwave circuits. You will collaborate with the physicists and engineers building the quantum processor and develop state-of-the-art hardware to control and design an ever more complex system.

Responsibilities:

  • Carry out numerical simulations for on-chip circuits and the packaging.
  • Design and develop integrated circuits at cryogenic temperatures.
  • Characterise linear and non-linear superconducting circuits.
  • Compare and analyse measurements and simulation.
  • Document design files and results. 

    • Requirements:

  • 1-3 years of experience in Electrical/Microwave engineering or similar.
  • Masters degree in Electrical/Microwave engineering or related subject.
  • Prior experience with EDA software, Ansys HFSS or similar.
  • First-hand experience in Python programming.
  • Background in transmission line theory and wave propagation.
  • Experience in cryogenics and/or quantum mechanics.

    • Benefits:

  • 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 Helium
  • Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen
  • Parental benefits with crèche support
  • Flexible remote policy, up to 40 % a month
  • Language courses covered by the company

    • Recruitment Process:

  • Screening Call with Grace, Junior Talent Acquisition Specialist (45 min)
  • Hiring Manager Interview with Felix (45 min)
  • Technical Interview/Presentation with the Team (60 min)
  • Fit Interview (45 min)
  • Founders/C-level Interview (30 min)
  • Reference check

    • Research shows that women might feel hesitant to apply for this job if they don't match 100% of the job requirements listed. This list is a guide, and we'd love to receive your application even if you think you're only a partial match. We are looking to build teams that innovate, not just tick boxes on a job spec.

    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.
