Description du poste

Overview

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer. The quantum computer is based on a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit, which can autonomously implement quantum error correction. The company is growing quickly after securing funding to develop this technology. The team includes physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals. The Nanofabrication team in the Quantum Hardware department produces the superconducting circuits used as the basis of the quantum computer, using thin film deposition and patterning methods in a cleanroom environment. The team develops and improves the process and manufactures prototype chips. We invite tech enthusiasts who are passionate about cutting-edge technology to join our mission in quantum computing.

As a Thin Film Deposition Technician at Alice & Bob, you will play a pivotal role in fabricating superconducting circuits for next-generation quantum processors. You will work with state-of-the-art vacuum evaporation and lithography tools, contributing to process optimization and innovation. This role combines technical expertise with hands-on problem-solving, including tool supervision, diagnostics, and maintenance, while executing precise fabrication processes. You will collaborate with experts and travel to partner technology platforms in the Ile-de-France region.

Responsibilities

• Operate cutting-edge deposition tools to fabricate production and R&D wafers, ensuring the highest standards of quality and precision.
• Conduct routine checks, calibrations, and characterizations of the equipment to ensure optimal performance.
• Maintain meticulous process and equipment documentation, including daily logs and detailed records of activities.
• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance to keep the equipment running smoothly.
• Collaborate closely with a dynamic team to evolve and refine fabrication processes.
• Identify and implement improvements in hardware capabilities to enhance production efficiency.

Requirements

• Educational Background: A Bachelor’s degree in a technical field (Physics, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, Mechatronics, etc.).
• Experience: 3+ years of experience working with vacuum technologies, material science, or physical instrumentation.
