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 Mechanical Engineering Intern, your mission is to assist the engineering team in various tasks related to the design, development, and production of mechanical components. You will gain hands-on experience by supporting design activities, helping to create manufacturing drawings, and learning about key manufacturing processes. Under the guidance of senior engineers, you will contribute to solving technical challenges, improve your skills in mechanical design, and learn about material and processes linked to operations in cryogenic environments (near 0 Kelvin) and RF / superconducting systems. Your projects will be supervised by the Senior Mechanical Engineer.

Responsibilities

  • Mechanical design and sizing
  • Creation of 2D drawings and files for manufacturing
  • Supplier coordination from pre-project through final acceptance
  • Overseeing parts acceptance, assembly, and manufacturing processes
  • Final equipment tests & qualification
  • Drafting of assembly and operational diagrams
  • Supporting testing activities
  • Requirements

  • Mechanical engineering student, for a 6 months internship.
  • Strong understanding of general mechanics, production, and thermal engineering
  • Familiarity with material properties and characterization methods
  • Proficiency in SolidWorks, including 3D modeling, 2D ISO dimensioning. Solidworks PDM is a plus.
  • Experience with both conventional and CNC machining
  • Fluent English communication
  • Dynamic, organized, independent and detail-oriented
  • Proficient with office automation tools
  • 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.
