Job Summary
Founded in 2020 and based in the heart of Paris C12s mission is to be at the center of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs of the century and change the course of history by building a universal quantum computer.
At C12 we believe that achieving a true breakthrough in quantum computing requires rethinking the fundamentals. Thats why our foundersdeeply rooted in academic and engineering excellencehave chosen carbon nanotubes as the building blocks of our quantum processors. This ultra-pure material dramatically reduces error rates boosts performance and minimizes hardware overheadkey ingredients for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales we aim to revolutionize quantum computing just as silicon transformed classical computing.
Since our founding weve raised over 25 million in funding published 11 scientific papers and secured 8 patents. Today our fast-growing team of 90 people including over 20 PhDs has 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 youre 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.
Role overview:
As Quantum RF Engineer your main responsibility will be contributing to the design & optimization of passive and active on-chip microwave components for qubit control qubit-qubit interfacing and qubit readout.

- High-frequency (RF microwave or mm-wave) IC or PCB design
- Previous experience with chip design layout tools like Klayout L-Edit
- Design/development in Python
- Great communication in English (verbal and written)
Really nice to have:
- Previous experience with cryogenic RF and DC measurement
- Knowledge of semiconductor device physics and microfabrication processes
- Knowledge of fabrication principles and the constraints they impose on physical device parameters
What we offer:
- Flexible rhythm of remote work
- Stock options for every employee (BSPCE/ESOP)
- Two office spaces in the heart of Paris (both next to the famous Panthéon!)
- Sponsored tripto conferences around the world
- Swile meal vouchers
- Breakfastfor all every Friday
- Mental health support with
