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 minimises hardware overheadkey ingredients for scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. By crafting a unique approach that scales we aim to revolutionise 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 60 including 20 PhDs has over 20 nationalities represented. We have our own cutting-edge lab space 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.
Your role at C12 Quantum Electronics
- As a CNT Growth intern you will work closely with Jean-Loïs and Louis our CNT Research Engineers. Your main responsibilities include:
- Designing an experimental protocol to assess the influence of the Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) parameters on the growth of carbon nanotubes - e.g. geometry density of catalyst nanoparticles position in the furnace - and on the overall performances of the CVD
- Collaborating with the Characterization and Nanofabrication teams to characterize the catalyst nanoparticles and to determine the properties of the grown carbon nanotubes
- Analysing experimental data to draw conclusions on the phenomena involved
- Getting familiar with the CVD setup C12 processes and characterization equipments - e.g. SEM EDX AFM possibly setting up a mass spectrometer
About you:
- You are pursuing a Masters degree in engineering physics chemistry or any related field and are looking for an end-of-studies internship
- You love experimental lab work have a problem-solving attitude - a previous experience in a lab is a plus
- You are used to collecting organising and analysing experimental data - programming skills are a plus (e.g. python)
- You are result-oriented organised and rigorous in your documentation
- You can fluently communicate in English (verbal and written)
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 60-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.
C12 encourages all who feel qualified to apply. Recruitment decisions are based solely on qualifications skills knowledge and experience. Applications from women are particularly welcomed.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process such as reviewing applications analyzing resumes or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed please contact us.
