Test and Characterization Engineer H/F

Test and Characterization Engineer H/F at Alice & Bob, Aubervilliers. A mid-level full time position in the Nanofabrication Backend team, listed under hardware engineering.

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're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! Alice&Bob is developing a quantum computer based on cat qubits. While initially running nanofabrication processes in academic cleanrooms, Alice&Bob now has its own prototyping cleanroom in Ile de France. This facility will allow to: Speed up the design iteration cycle, by reducing the leadtime of chip fabrication Improve the capability of Alice&Bob nanofabrication processes (improving performance and mastering 3D integration) As part of the Quantum Hardware department, the “Nanofabrication Backend” team will play a pivotal role in operating and developing the “backend of line” used for manufacturing Alice&Bob Quantum Processor. Technically, this encompasses: Room temperature electrical testing Dicing Optical inspection Wirebonding of chips inside sample holders The team is in charge of: operating the tools for the regular delivery of test chips developing/improving new processes (for better quality/leadtime/chip selection…) overseeing its own tools (daily check of the tools, ensuring maintenance schedules are followed, 1 level of troubleshooting) selection, installation and qualification of new tools
