Rack and instrumentation maintenance: Operate the existing drive electronics systems including monitoring and performance checks. Implement V&Vs plans, mostly in Python and using equipment such as VNAs, fast oscilloscopes, SMUs, signal generators,… Elaborate and implement daily and preventive maintenance plans Monitor the different sensors to follow changes in the system environment, and propose action plan to reduce the variations In collaboration with IT, ensure proper network managements for the instruments located in the racks and labs. Run connectivity diagnostic tools. Assist in implementing cabling following users’ requests and schematics Ensure all systems meet Alice & Bob’s rigorous standards for accuracy, reliability, and efficiency. Write reports and ensure the logs journal of each systems are up to date Troubleshooting & Optimization: Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve technical issues related to the instrumentation and control electronics, ensuring continuous operation within our quantum processor. Asset management Assist in managing and and tracking high-value instruments and components across racks and cryostats, from different locations Ensure calibration schedules and upkeep of test equipment and tools Configure and manage instrumentation database Align with purchasing team to place orders to maintain and develop the stock of equipment Organize and manage shipments with distributors and partners Collaboration with Cross-Functional Teams & partners: Work closely with other engineering teams, including your teammate, Quantum Hardware Infra colleagues, physicists and software engineers, to ensure the seamless alignment of hardware and software in our quantum processors. Interact with our internal purchasers to order equipment Documentation & Reporting: Ensure processes, test results, and system configurations are thoroughly documented. Provide regular updates and reports to the team on your projects progress and timelines.
