The intern will interview scientists, develop scripts and storyboards, brief creative and marketing teams, monitor the quantum computing landscape, and maintain content planning tools. Success requires strong storytelling, visual thinking, scientific accuracy, collaboration, attention to detail, and the ability to simplify complex technical concepts.

Lead automation and continuous improvement across the employee lifecycle, from pre-onboarding through offboarding. Administer HRIS platforms and integrations, maintain data quality, manage contracts and personnel administration, support payroll, and resolve complex employee cases. Own People Operations and transformation projects, coordinate stakeholders, manage change, and track adoption and quality KPIs. The role also requires French labor law knowledge, HR compliance expertise, business partnering, and confidential handling of employee data.

Supports Alice & Bob’s US go-to-market strategy by developing partnerships across high-performance computing, AI, and cybersecurity. Responsibilities include researching and qualifying partners, preparing value propositions, supporting key meetings, maintaining the sales playbook, and building AI-based workflows for account research and follow-up. The role requires strong business acumen, communication skills, organization, autonomy, and an interest in quantum computing. This is a six-month internship beginning in February 2027.

Drive adoption of Alice & Bob hardware by engaging the quantum research community, supporting research projects, organizing trainings and events, tracking usage and satisfaction, synthesizing user feedback, and representing the company at conferences to enable published research outcomes.

Supports the design, prototyping, integration, testing, and characterization of RF hardware for superconducting qubit control. The intern will work with room-temperature and cryogenic signal chains, RF instruments, PCB subsystems, test automation, component analysis, laboratory setups, and technical documentation while collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering and science teams.

Supports export-control item classification, documents classification rationales, reviews supplier ECCDs for accuracy and regulatory compliance, updates databases, communicates corrections to suppliers, and tracks follow-up actions. The role requires legal knowledge, familiarity with customs and international trade regulations, understanding of EU and US export-control frameworks, strong analytical and organizational skills, clear writing, and spreadsheet/database proficiency.

Supports technical business development for public-sector quantum technology programs in the United States. Responsibilities include researching the quantum computing market, identifying funding and partnership opportunities, preparing stakeholder briefings, editing white papers and proposals, coordinating technical contributors, tracking deadlines and deliverables, and assisting with government program communications. The role is designed for a graduate student with quantitative training, strong writing and research abilities, and an interest in science, technology, and policy.

Design and test tools and procedures for pre-aligning diced quantum chips before visual inspection and probing. The intern will automate alignment workflows, procure hardware, validate testing and data repository processes, document specifications and SOPs, and present findings to the nanofabrication team.

Improve automatic optical inspection software for quantum chip wafer production. Responsibilities include optimizing defect detection pipelines, reducing inspection time and false results, testing on production wafers, adapting software for 4-inch fabrication, collaborating with process engineers, and documenting and presenting results. The role is a 5–6 month internship beginning in January 2027.

Six-month nanofabrication internship focused on improving superconducting qubit coherence by reducing material-related losses. Responsibilities include reviewing fabrication techniques, fabricating circuits in a cleanroom using cleaning, lithography, and etching, characterizing devices with SEM, EDX, AFM, and room-temperature measurements, and continuously optimizing processes.

Develop and integrate quantum compilation algorithms for cat-qubit architectures. Study quantum hardware constraints, compiler design, circuit synthesis, routing, and optimization. Design intermediate representations, implement and test compilation passes, document the work, and benchmark resource costs such as qubit count, gate count, and runtime. The intern will translate scientific literature into reliable software while collaborating with the compilation team.

Supports EU and French funded-project applications, delivery, reporting, consortium coordination, partner contracting, communications, and project-management tools. Works with R&D, legal, finance, marketing, academic, and industrial stakeholders. The role requires a master’s degree in progress, prior technical studies, bilingual French and English proficiency, strong organization, and interest in deep tech and quantum technologies.

Designs and develops precision mechanical parts and cryogenic integration hardware for quantum-computing systems, especially chip-level components. Produces manufacturing drawings, manages tolerances, works with suppliers, and ensures manufacturability, repeatability, scalability, and robustness under thermal cycling and vacuum constraints. Defines validation and qualification methods, testing protocols, and engineering standards while collaborating with RF engineers, physicists, assembly, procurement, and external machining partners. Serves as the technical reference for precision mechanics and mentors the team.

Develops and optimizes superconducting qubit testing at room and cryogenic temperatures. The role validates fabrication processes, improves device testing and metrology reliability, evaluates test structures, supports equipment procurement and qualification, drives continuous improvement, and conducts failure analysis. The engineer collaborates across design, process integration, and nanofabrication teams to improve wafer and chip performance, testing throughput, and data quality.

Owns US HR, payroll, benefits, onboarding, offboarding, employee records, employment documentation, financial administration, vendor coordination, and compliance. Supports immigration processes, team events, and continuous improvement of HR, finance, and administrative operations for a growing US subsidiary while collaborating with France-based teams.

Own full-cycle recruitment for tech and business roles while optimizing ATS, recruiting tools, data and processes. Partner with hiring managers, build sourcing strategies, track recruiting KPIs, create dashboards, improve candidate experience, and contribute to employer branding and talent attraction.
