About the role

Quantum & RF Characterization Engineer at Alice & Bob, developing the first universal quantum computer and supporting characterization of quantum chips and devices.

Responsibilities

Study issues related to the quantum / cryogenic / room-temperature environments and propose projects/POCs to address them.
Organize and manage your projects; coordinate with other managers for cross-team initiatives.
Propose and help implement a testing environment for projects you initiated or have been assigned.
Develop a measurement plan.
Lead and perform tests, characterizations, and measurements, with support from instrumentation engineers and colleagues from the Platform team.
Advance TRL validations to the level required by the management team.
Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues related to the test chip, cryogenic environment, or instrumentation/control electronics.
Monitor state-of-the-art developments for instrumentation used in quantum control electronics and quantum test chips.
Work closely with other engineering teams, including your teammate, Quantum Hardware Infrastructure colleagues, physicists, and software engineers, to ensure seamless alignment of hardware and software in our quantum processors.
Ensure all design processes, test results, and system configurations are thoroughly documented. Provide regular updates and reports to your manager and the team on project progress and timelines.

Master’s or PhD degree in Quantum Experimental Physics, EEE, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in experimental work in quantum mechanics, preferably in superconducting quantum circuits.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with a proactive and positive attitude.
