The Role
The Mechanical Engineering Intern will assist the engineering team with mechanical design, create manufacturing drawings, and support testing activities in quantum computing production.
Summary Generated by Built In
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!
As a Mechanical Engineering Intern, your mission is to assist the engineering team in various tasks related to the design, development, and production of mechanical components. You will gain hands-on experience by supporting design activities, helping to create manufacturing drawings, and learning about key manufacturing processes.
Under the guidance of senior engineers, you will contribute to solving technical challenges, improve your skills in mechanical design, and learn about material and processes linked to operations in cryogenic environments (near 0 Kelvin) and RF / superconducting systems. Your projects will be supervised by the Senior Mechanical Engineer.
Responsibilities:
- Mechanical design and sizing
- Creation of 2D drawings and files for manufacturing
- Supplier coordination from pre-project through final acceptance
- Overseeing parts acceptance, assembly, and manufacturing processes
- Final equipment tests & qualification
- Drafting of assembly and operational diagrams
- Supporting testing activities
Requirements:
- Mechanical engineering student, for a 6 months internship.
- Strong understanding of general mechanics, production, and thermal engineering
- Familiarity with material properties and characterization methods
- Proficiency in SolidWorks, including 3D modeling, 2D ISO dimensioning. Solidworks PDM is a plus.
- Experience with both conventional and CNC machining
- Fluent English communication
- Dynamic, organized, independent and detail-oriented
- Proficient with office automation tools
Benefits:
- 1 day off per month
- Half of transportation cost coverage (as per French law)
- Meal vouchers with Swile, as well as access to a fully equipped and regularly stocked kitchen
