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 Team Leader RF Hardware Engineer, you'll be in charge of the design, fabrication and test of the RF Instrumentation rack. You will supervise the team and your expertise will significantly shape Alice & Bob’s commitment to a culture of technical brilliance. We are looking for a highly experienced Engineer in High Frequency instrumentation to consolidate the integration of the various electronic instruments (RF DC, etc.) needed to control our quantum processors.
