At Alice & Bob, we are building the first universal, fault-tolerant quantum computer that can solve the world's hardest problems using superconducting cat qubits.

Cat qubits have the astonishing ability to autonomously suppress a certain type of error, and a significantly reduced hardware overhead compared to other technologies. This efficient technology makes us a leader in the race towards a fault-tolerant quantum computer.

We have raised 30 million EUR of funding and are currently over 100 employees at our main facilities in Paris. Among us are physicists, engineers, PhD students and experienced business professionals, all working together to reach our ambitious goal. If you want to challenge yourself and participate in this race, apply today.

Alice & Bob is conducting quantum experimentations on complex hardware chips that are controlled and monitored using Microwave signals in the 5G band. As a Product Manager for RF/Microwave Control Systems, you will work in close relation with RF engineers, Control Electronics experts, Hardware engineers, and Quantum Experimentalists. Your goal will be to industrialize the specification, development, validation, and maintenance of current Control systems, Measurement benches and Test benches.

Responsibilities:

• Understand the needs expressed by A&B Quantum Experimentalists, Control Electronic experts, RF engineers, Hardware engineers, SW engineers
• Formalize needs into product specifications for the room temperature control electronics systems.
• Design complex bench architecture for RF components, including signal generators, spectrum analysers, and network analysers, considering trade-offs such as high degree of versatility vs. simplicity.
• Coordinate software/firmware development on the systems.
• Establish internal quality standards for Validation and Verification activities, and actively supervise engineers conducting the V&V.
• Plan various activities and be accountable for reaching milestones on time.

Requirements:

• 6+ years of experience (minimum 4 years as an engineer in the RF/MW/DC domain + at least 2 years as a responsible for a project or product).
