- Skilled in SolidWorks Electrical or similar tools
- Strong understanding of software development practices and Python
- Nice to have: Nice to have: knowledge on RF circuits, knowledge on quantum superconducting circuits or cryogenic measurements, software development in Python
What the job involves
- As our Electrical Engineer for quantum instrumentation integration, your role is to oversee the design, implementation and standardization of the racks and wiring systems for quantum control instrumentations
- For this you will collaborate with physicists, RF engineers and mechanical engineers in order to develop full systems that runs quantum operations
- Integrating the equipment necessary for quantum control inside our racks
- Managing wiring (RF, DC, powering, grounding, sensing, ethernet etc...) all the way from instruments up to the cryostats
- Power and DC design for instrumentation, with a focus on noise reduction and ground loops management
- Ensuring robust design of rack equipment and wiring while making sure architectures are well documented
- Creating prototypes, conducting tests, and drawing up detailed plans and diagrams
- Conducting feasibility studies and technical documentation for subcontractors
- Performing quality control and designing validation tests and/or validation devices for wired racks
- Analyzing test data and compiling comprehensive reports
- Providing training and support to team members
Our take
Creating top-tier quantum hardware, including qubits and control electronics, presents a significant hurdle for those pursuing high-power quantum computing. Various qubit technologies exist, each boasting unique advantages and drawbacks, with the most recent research in the sector involving the pursuit of a scalable, fault-tolerant qubit technology.
Joining this pursuit is Alice & Bob, a company specialising in "cat qubits". This technology, named for Schrodinger’s infamous cat, is able to reduce hardware requirements, promising fault-tolerant quantum computing at scale. With over 90 employees and pioneering experimental results, Alice & Bob has notable achievements, including the development of its 16-bit Helium 1 quantum processing unit.
Recognised for its ground-breaking work, Alice & Bob recently received a hefty innovation grant that will support its work moving forwards. Through projects like "Cat Factory," in collaboration with academic partners, the company aims to optimise quantum computation infrastructure, making it more cost-effective and market-ready and ultimately building "the first universal quantum computer”.
