To create a future where humans play by the same rules as nature.
Role
Who you are
- Master's degree in mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, mechatronics or related field
- 3 to 5 years' experience in the design and development of mechanical systems with a strong integration of electronic components, preferably in a high-tech environment. Knowledge of RF and cryogenics is a plus
- Solid knowledge of mechanical design principles, including 3D CAD software (e.g. SolidWorks) and finite element analysis
- Proficiency in electrical circuit design, including PCB design and electrical system simulation (e.g. Kicad, or equivalent tools)
- Experience in prototyping and practical testing of mechanical and electronic systems
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with strong attention to detail
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in a team environment
What the job involves
- As a Mechanical and Electronic Integration Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development and implementation of high-tech systems that combine the principles of RF and DC mechanical and electronic engineering
- You will be involved in all stages of the product lifecycle, from design to prototyping, testing and manufacturing
- Working closely with the various microwave, experimentalist teams, you will ensure the seamless integration of mechanical and electrical systems into revolutionary products
- Design and development: Contribute to the design of very low-temperature mechanical systems with very high integration of complex electronic components, by developing detailed CAD models, electrical schematics and technical drawings
- System integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the integration of components for thermalization, RF and DC signal processing, etc., optimizing performance and reliability. optimize system performance and reliability
- Prototyping and testing: Lead and participate in prototype development, testing and troubleshooting to identify design issues and optimize system functionality
- Product lifecycle support: Provide support throughout the product lifecycle, including system validation, compliance testing and preparation for series production and operational maintenance
- Documentation: Produce and maintain detailed technical documentation, including design specifications, test protocols and product manuals
- Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities for system improvement and optimization, drawing on feedback from team usage testing and product iterations
Our take
Creating top-tier quantum hardware, including qubits and control electronics, presents a significant hurdle for those pursuing high-power quantum computing. Various qubit technologies exist, each boasting unique advantages and drawbacks, with the most recent research in the sector involving the pursuit of a scalable, fault-tolerant qubit technology.
Joining this pursuit is Alice & Bob, a company specialising in "cat qubits". This technology, named for Schrodinger’s infamous cat, is able to reduce hardware requirements, promising fault-tolerant quantum computing at scale. With over 90 employees and pioneering experimental results, Alice & Bob has notable achievements, including the development of its 16-bit Helium 1 quantum processing unit.
Recognised for its ground-breaking work, Alice & Bob recently received a hefty innovation grant that will support its work moving forwards. Through projects like "Cat Factory," in collaboration with academic partners, the company aims to optimise quantum computation infrastructure, making it more cost-effective and market-ready and ultimately building "the first universal quantum computer”.
