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 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 Head of Qubit Control reporting directly to the CTO you will lead and grow a team of quantum physicists from junior level to recognised experts responsible for the performance of C12s quantum operations. You will lead the expansion of the team that is expected to become one of the largest teams within the company. The teams work focuses on the control and readout of 1- and 2-qubit gates on small- and large-scale chips including optimisation of control and readout electronics efficient exploration tuning and optimisation of large parameter spaces and experimental investigation of the underlying physics. The quantum chips operate at low temperatures in cryostats hosted in our cryolab equipped with state-of-the-art high-frequency microwave control electronics. Your role is to enable excellence in qubit control measurement and calibration by structuring execution aligning priorities and supporting technical decision-making while relying on deep expertise within the team and working closely with leadership to deliver results aligned with the companys R&D roadmap.
- Growing and recruiting key talents mainly research scientists from junior level to experts.
- Fostering and maintaining high standards for project management within the team acting as a coordinator and enabler when needed while day-to-day execution and ownership are led by team members with arbitration support from the CTO when deeper technical decisions are required.
- Defining the team OKRs under the guidance of the CTO and the R&D Operations Lead and own their delivery.
