Conduct experimental research to advance quantum computing technology using carbon nanotubes.

Founded in 2020 and based in the heart of Paris, C12’s mission is to be at the center of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of the century and change the course of history by building a universal quantum computer. At C12, we believe that achieving a true breakthrough in quantum computing requires rethinking the fundamentals. That’s why our founders—deeply rooted in academic and engineering excellence—have chosen carbon nanotubes as the building blocks of our quantum processors. This ultra-pure material dramatically reduces error rates, boosts performance, and minimizes hardware overhead—key ingredients for scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales, we aim to revolutionize quantum computing just as silicon transformed classical computi

You are driven by the scientific and engineering challenge of building a quantum computer, and you want to contribute to a meaningful milestone in the field
You hold a PhD (or Masters with substantial research experience) in quantum physics or a closely related discipline, you have additional experience as post-doctoral researcher or in the industry
You have hands-on experience with quantum experiments — Qubits, DC transport, microwave spectroscopy,...
You write Python fluently and use it autonomously to control experiments, process data, and build reusable tools
You hold yourself to high scientific standards and are equally motivated by results
You communicate clearly in English, in writing and in conversation, across technical and non-technical audiences
You have experience in mentoring and supervising PhD students or interns
You have experience working in a company in a similar domain

You will design, calibrate, and optimize DC and microwave experiments in dilution cryostats equipped with state-of-the-art high-frequency control electronics
You will develop scalable measurement and analysis workflows: well-documented, reproducible, and built to run with increasing autonomy
You will sustain a close feedback loop with engineering teams to continuously improve device performance
You will work closely with the theory team to connect experimental observations with physical models
You will actively collaborate with the software team to execute our automation roadmap — from experiment scheduling to data analysis — as we scale toward a full QPU
You will deepen our understanding of spin qubits in carbon nanotubes integrated within high-impedance cQED architectures
