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 140+ brilliant minds from over 20 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! Development of a scalable wiring interface tool integrating the concepts of available resources, health. To achieve our ambitious roadmap, we need to develop tools allowing us to properly handle the wiring of our quantum computers. From electronics control racks to the chipset through routing panels, cryostat and chandeliers hundreds of cables are connected to ensure QPU proper functionality. The intern will have the mission to create the process and tools allowing us to enhance our capability to diagnose and operate these cables. The internship is expected to start between February and April 2026. Responsabilities:

Status reports:

Analyze existing plans (KiCAD schematics, parts lists)

History of wiring evolution

Snapshot of the current mapping and health

Analyze the current tools in use

Solutions identification:

Identify areas for improvement

Discuss with all stakeholders to understand needs and current weaknesses

Proposing new processes and tools (wiring database, automated schematics generation, schematic parsing for consistency purpose)

Process and tools development:

Process selection and implementation

Tools selection, development and implementation

Requirements:

Engineering school or master's student (4-year/5-year degree) in software, instrumentation or embedded systems.

Proficiency in:
