Team Leader RF Hardware Engineer

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 100 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! As a Team Leader RF Hardware Engineer, you'll be in charge of the design, fabrication and test of the RF Instrumentation rack. You will supervise the team and your expertise will significantly shape Alice & Bob’s commitment to a culture of technical brilliance. We are looking for a highly experienced Engineer in High Frequency instrumentation to consolidate the integration of the various electronic instruments (RF DC, etc.) needed to control our quantum processors. Responsibilities Ensure the technical relevance of the solutions chosen, in compatibility with the physicists, software and suppliers. Take ownership of this fully transversal company project. Supervise the team. Lead and plan the various integration phases, from design to obsolescence, including maintaining the equipment in operational condition. Ensure the technical viability and guide the design to make it coherent, efficient and relevant. Requirements Technical expertise in RF, Microwave, metrology, low power environment/noisy electronics. Experience with test benches and measurement systems; working with tests such as Spectrum Analyzers, VNAs, Power Meters, Signal Generators. Demonstrated experience in designing RF electronics boards and manufacturing instruments incorporating high performance RF PCBs. Technical leadership experience.
