HSE Engineer - Quantum Computing

À propos du poste

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 are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM, and we are growing fast after securing  €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology. Currently 200+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!

About the role Reporting to the Head of Building & Lab Facilities, you will define and execute an HSE policy that treats safety as a strategic partner to innovation. Your mission is to identify and mitigate complex risks within our labs, cleanrooms, and cryogenic systems, ensuring optimal working conditions as we scale. If you thrive at the intersection of groundbreaking hardware and responsible oversight, join us as we balance rapid innovation with a sustainable, secure workspace!
