Instrumentation and Electronic/RF Cabling Technician M/F
Alice & Bob
Aubervilliers, France
Alice&Bob is developing a quantum computer based on cat qubits. While already operating cryostats in its existing site, Alice&Bob is stepping up by building a new facility in Ile de France (construction started, start of operation end 2025), to increase the “test and operation” capacity of Quantum Processor Units. This new facility will allow to speed up the design iteration cycle.
As part of the Quantum Hardware and Infrastructure department, the Hardware Platform Operation (HPO) team is created to operate the cryoplatform. This platform represents a major investment: HPO team will focus 100% on operational excellence and quality, to ensure the highest availability rate.
The Hardware Platform Operation team is at the intersection of hardware quantum characterization and operations, cryogenic systems, RF control electronics, and industrialization.
