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, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.
Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!
As a Hardware Instrumentation Engineer intern, your mission is to assist the engineering team in various tasks related to the integration of electronic control systems and RF equipment. You will gain hands-on experience by supporting integration and monitoring test activities and operational maintenance of RF control equipment and instrumentation. You will contribute to solving technical challenges, improve your skills in the integration and qualification of RF measurement and control instruments, and familiarize yourself with room temperature and cryogenic test and qualification equipment. As a Hardware Instrumentation Engineer Intern, you will play a crucial role in implementing the communication and control systems for our quantum computers
