Test and Characterization Engineer H/F

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're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together!

Alice&Bob is developing a quantum computer based on cat qubits. While initially running nanofabrication processes in academic cleanrooms, Alice&Bob now has its own prototyping cleanroom in Ile de France. This facility will allow to:

• Speed up the design iteration cycle, by reducing the leadtime of chip fabrication
• Improve the capability of Alice&Bob nanofabrication processes (improving performance and mastering 3D integration)

As part of the Quantum Hardware department, the “Nanofabrication Backend” team will play a pivotal role in operating and developing the “backend of line” used for manufacturing Alice&Bob Quantum Processor. Technically, this encompasses:

• Room temperature electrical testing
• Dicing
• Optical inspection
• Wirebonding of chips inside sample holders

The team is in charge of:

• operating the tools for the regular delivery of test chips
• developing/improving new processes (for better quality/leadtime/chip selection…)
• overseeing its own tools (daily check of the tools, ensuring maintenance schedules are followed, 1 level of troubleshooting)
• selection, installation and qualification of new tools
