RF Sub Systems Design & Characterization Intern M/F

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!

Purpose of the role

As an RF Sub Systems Design & Characterization Intern, your mission is to support the design, development, integration, and validation of RF hardware used to control Quantum bits (Qubits). Guided by senior engineers, you will gain hands-on experience on leveraging performance RF instruments, characterizing cryogenic components, and automating test workflows.

Following the candidate’s abilities, there will be 3 main possible topics to focus on:

Cryogenic Bias tee footprint reduction

RF Readout chain optimization at room temperature

RF Readout chain optimization at cryogenic temperatures

As part of the team, you will contribute to solving technical challenges involving the entire signal chain from room temperature to cryogenics, by designing RF sub syste
