Cryogenic & RF Platform Operations Manager H/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!

About the role

Every qubit we design has to be cooled to 10 millikelvin, wired and instrumented before anyone can measure anything. Between the chip and the measurement sits a full microwave chain: cold RF and DC wiring down the cryostat, attenuation and thermalization at every stage, then the instrumentation and control racks at room temperature.

That platform — dilution cryostats and their measurement chains — is one of the company most critical assets, and the Cryogenic & RF Platform Operations team owns it. You lead that team: 7 engineers and technicians who run cooldown and warm-up cycles, modify cold and room-temperature RF and DC cabling on user request, keep cryostats and instrumentation racks available and qualified, build new systems in house, and act as the single entry point for the QPU design and characterization teams.

Your job is quality and availability: every hour the platform is down is an hour the company isn't measuring qubits.
