Description

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 astonishing 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. We are growing fast, securing 30 million USD of funding in 2022 to develop our unique technology.

We are 65 and counting, between physicists, PhDs, engineers and experienced business professionals, all united in reaching our ambitious goal. If you are an explorer, craving to challenge yourself and make quantum computing come true, come and join us!

Role

The back-end process, which includes steps such as dicing, electrical probing, and wirebonding, is a critical part of the fabrication process for superconducting devices, from the freshly fabricated wafer to loading the experimental chip into the fridge.

We are looking for an intern to study the effect of individual back-end process steps on the performance of final devices and identify opportunities for improvement. More specifically, you will focus on optimizing the process parameters of the protective resist to improve dicing performance.

As an intern, you will have the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the field of superconducting device fabrication and contribute to the development of a critical process for ensuring the quality of our devices. You will work closely with our team and use a variety of tools and techniques to study the effects of individual back-end process steps on device performance.

Requirements

The job has been made for you if:

You are currently studying materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field

You are familiar with the back-end process for device fabrication, including dicing and electrical probing

You know how to use a variety of tools and techniques to study the effects of individual back-end process steps on device performance

You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to identify opportunities for improvement

You are attentive to detail and the able to work both independently and as part of a team

You have good organizational and time-management skills, and can manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously

Icing on the cake if:

You are familiar with process optimization techniques and statistical analysis

Benefits

Joining Alice & Bob, you can expect the following:

1 day-off a month for interns

Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law), or yearly allowance for the die-hard bicycle users

Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped kitchen

You will join of one of the most innovative startups in France at an early stage, to be part of a passionate and friendly team on its mission to build the first universal quantum computer!

We love to share and learn from one another, so you will be certain to innovate, develop new ideas, and have the space to grow.
