Monitor failure mechanisms in quantum chip production, analyze root causes and propose yield improvements.

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! No prior experience in quantum technologies required: failure analysis expertise from semiconductors, microelectronics or advanced materials is what matters, and we'll help you learn the superconducting side About the role As we scale chip production in our own facility, you'll monitor known and potential failure mechanisms across the production process, find their root causes, and propose the corrections that bring yield up. You'll report to the nanofabrication back-end manager and work hand in hand with managers and experts across the whole nanofabrication chain, from process development and process integration to production engineering.
