Description du poste

Overview

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 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 €100 million of funding in 2025 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!

The Mechanical & Electrical Technician will be responsible for the assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting of cryostat systems and instrumentation racks used in our quantum computing research and development. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in both mechanical and electrical engineering, with hands-on experience working with precision for mechanical devices and high-performance RF electronic components.
