Since our founding, we’ve raised over €25 million in funding, published 11 scientific papers, and secured 8 patents. Today, our fast-growing team includes 55+ people, with 20+ PhDs and over 20 nationalities represented. We have our own cutting-edge lab spaces in Paris' historic Panthéon district, where scientists, engineers, and innovators work side-by-side to tackle some of the most exciting technical challenges of our time.
If you're passionate about shaping the future of quantum technology and want to make a real impact, C12 offers a unique environment to grow, learn, and innovate.
Your role at C12 Quantum Electronics :
As part of the nano-assembly team at C12, you will be at the very heart of the creation of our single-molecule qubit devices.
Your key responsibilities:
- Operate and optimise our high-vacuum nano-assembly setups to transfer ultra-pure carbon nanotubes onto custom-made microchips
- Design and validate experimental protocols to improve the yield and performance of our quantum devices
- Characterise and condition the microchips for nano-assembly (SEM, optical microscope, wire bonding, plasma cleaning, etc.)
- Collaborate with the software team to improve the control software, as well as organise, analyse and report on your experimental results
- Be involved in the design and setup of new experimental vacuum setups
About you:
- You hold a PhD in Physics, Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science or a related field, or you have equivalent experience in an industrial or startup setting. Further postdoctoral or work experience is a plus
- You have experience in hardware and experimental setup design and fabrication
- You love experimental lab work, have a problem-solving attitude and can handle parallel research projects
- You are used to collecting, organising and analysing experimental data. Programming skills are a plus.
- You are result-oriented, organised, and rigorous in your documentation
- You can fluently communicate in English (verbal and written)
- Experience with high-vacuum systems and embedded electronics
- Experience in materials characterization techniques (SEM, TEM, AFM, electrical characterisation,..)
- Experience in semiconductor physics and/or nanomaterials.
- Experience with quantum devices or carbon nanotubes
Preferred experience
What we offer:
- Flexible rhythm of remote work
- Stock options for every employee (BSPCE/ESOP)
- Two incredible office spaces in the heart of Paris (both next to the famous Panthéon!)
- Sponsored trip to conferences around the world
- A highly dynamic international team
- Swile meal vouchers
- Breakfast for all every Friday
- Mental health support with moka.care
- Training budgets/ Annual Learning & Development Allowance
- Sabbatical leave (after 2 years in the company)
You should join us if...
- You like hands-on work and technology
- You want to contribute to achieving landmark results in quantum computing, making a difference in the emerging quantum technologies.
- You want to work within a 55-people team with various backgrounds in nanofabrication, quantum electronics, and carbon nanotube science to create a revolutionary quantum computing processor.
- You want to thrive in an exceptional scientific environment with several industrial and academic partners.
- You share our values (excellence, scientific integrity, diversity, curiosity, and care) and want to help us define our product-focused culture and ambition to accelerate.
