Mechatronic Engineering Internship H/F

About the Role

Alice & Bob is developing the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer to solve the world’s hardest problems using a new kind of superconducting qubit: the Schrödinger cat qubit. The company is a diverse team of 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 countries working toward practical fault‑tolerant quantum machines.

This internship is for a Mechatronic Engineering Intern who will support mechanical design activities for cryogenic, RF, and electronic projects. The role involves design, manufacturing, assembly, integration, testing and documentation in a highly technical environment.

Responsibilities

• Perform mechanical design (3D and 2D) and sizing, including thermal and structural constraints in demanding environments.
• Participate in design for manufacturing, write part technical drawings, select materials, and consider machining constraints, heat and surface treatments.
• Oversee parts manufacturing, reception, inspection, and assembly.
• Assist with the integration of electronic or RF‑related components into mechanical assemblies.
• Set up test benches and experimental configurations.
• Support testing, qualification, troubleshooting, and data acquisition on multidisciplinary systems.
• Draft assembly procedures, technical documentation, and system/interface diagrams.

Requirements

Hard Skills:

• Final year of a Master’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical Design or Mechatronics).
• Proficiency in SolidWorks for 3D modeling and 2D drawings.
• Good understanding of manufacturing processes, metallic materials, machining, and assembly.
• Basic knowledge of electronics, instrumentation, or mechatronic systems.
• Familiarity with test benches, sensors, wiring, and connectors is a plus.

Soft Skills:

• Strong hands‑on mindset.
• Organized, autonomous, and detail‑oriented.
• Curious and willing to work across disciplines.
• Problem‑solving mindset.
• Fluent in English.

Benefits

• 1 day off per month.
• Half coverage of transportation costs (as per French law).
• Meal vouchers with Swile, plus access to a fully equipped and regularly stocked kitchen.
