The company

C12 develops a reliable & application-specific quantum computer, to solve highly complex computing tasks, currently out of reach of the most powerful supercomputers.

Building a quantum computer still needs innovators ready to tackle exciting challenges. C12 founders are convinced that only a new material for the qubit will bring a technological breakthrough.

C12 uniquely uses carbon nanotubes (CNT) as the fundamental building blocks of its quantum processor. This high-purity material minimizes errors, radically improves performance and reduces hardware overhead for fault-tolerant computing. Combined with well-established semiconductor techniques, carbon nanotubes will help scale quantum computing, just as silicon revolutionized classical computing.

Founded in 2020, C12 is a fast-growing start-up, having raised a seed round of USD 10 million in June 2021 and building its own lab in the heart of Paris (Panthéon).

Your internship in C12

• Contributing to the design & the optimization of multilayer pcb (Printed Circuit Board) (Cadence, Altium...).
• Mechanical design and optimization of the pcb sample holder (Solidworks...).
• Contributing to the Electromagnetic simulations of the passive on-chip device (HFSS)

Ideally, we would prefer an intern who could start from June/July for 6 months.

Requirements

• Master/Bachelor of Electronics / Engineering student
• Good knowledge in analog electronics and a project done on printed circuit board design (electrical/mechanical) is seen as an advantage
• Good communication in English (verbal and written)
• Team spirit, strong communication skills
• Autonomous and have a great technical curiosity

Benefits

• You want to contribute to achieve landmark results in quantum computing and participate in setting up the world-first architecture of a five-qubit chip with all-to-all connectivity between spin qubits, making a difference in the emerging quantum technologies
• You want to work within a 30-people team with various backgrounds in nanofabrication, quantum electronics, and carbon nanotube science to create a revolutionary quantum computing processor
• You want to thrive in a exceptional scientific environment with several industrial and academic partners
• You relate to our values (excellence, scientific integrity, diversity, curiosity, and care) and want to help us define our product-focus culture and ambition to accelerate
