Descripción del empleo

Software / Hardware Integration Intern (H1/2027) at Quandela, Massy, Île‑de‑France, France (remote). A intern-level full time position in the Operations team, listed under software engineering.

Description of the Team/Project

One of Quandela's priority is demonstrating fault tolerant quantum computing. We are widely known for our boson samplers, where one source can provide many photons, but for FTQC we will do spin-spin operations, mediated by photons with a dash of entanglement. So, instead of many photons from few sources, we need many photons from many spins. That means that someone has to ; every day, for months ; test many "spin-photon sources" together and determine whether the photons have adequate properties (single, indistinguishable, entangled), and other things. Where you will help, is making these measurements less tedious, by making some of it automated. For instance, by rotating waveplates by the right amount and in the right order at the right time. Upon your arrival the setup should be already built, but if we are behind schedule, you will probably give a hand on that too.

Your Key Responsibilities

Write instrumentation code that automates part of the process of a tomography/g(2)/HOM/lifetime/coherence time setup, and/or whatever is needed to make this setup run at the moment of the internship.

Education & Background

• Master’s degree (M2) in Physics or a related field

Languages

• Fluent in either French or English, with at least a professional or scientific working proficiency in English

What we also offer

A challenging and innovative work environment at the heart of quantum computing. A diverse and collaborative company culture. Opportunities for professional growth and skill development.

At Quandela, we believe that the strength of our team is the plurality of experiences, perspectives, and journeys. We are committed to building a respectful, inclusive, and welcoming work environment. All applications are welcome.

Requirements

• Written reporting

Benefits

• Swile Card (meal vouchers)
• 50% participation in transportation costs
• Possibility of remote work
• Internship Allowance between €1,200 and €1,400 per month
• 1,5 days off per month, cumulative
