Foundry Partnership Expert – Superconducting Quantum Hardware H/F

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're a diverse team of 250+ brilliant minds from over 35 countries united by a single goal: to revolutionise computing with a practical fault-tolerant quantum machine. Are you ready to take on unprecedented challenges and contribute to revolutionising technology? Join us, and let's shape the future of quantum computing together! About the role We are seeking a Foundry Partnerships Manager – Superconducting Quantum Hardware to define, develop, and manage strategic foundry partnerships supporting the scalable fabrication of superconducting quantum processors and related hardware building blocks. This role will focus on identifying the key superconducting QPU building blocks that could be fabricated, scaled, or industrialized with external foundry partners, and on building the partnerships required to support Alice & Bob’s long-term quantum hardware roadmap. This position is part of the Foundries & Process Integration team within the Quantum Hardware & Infrastructure department. About the mission The role sits at the interface between internal teams responsible for roadmap definition and quantum hardware architects and external foundry partners. It requires strong technical understanding of superconducting quantum hardware fabrication, combined with senior-level project management and partnership skills. About you The successful candidate will identify, assess, qualify, engage, negotiate with, and manage foundries capable of fabricating superconducting circuits and related process modules at increasing levels of scale, quality, reproducibility, and maturity.
