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 are at the forefront of the quantum race, competing with tech giants such as Google or IBM, and we are growing fast after securing €100 million of funding in 2025 to develop our unique technology.
Currently 100+ and counting, between physicists, PhD students, engineers and experienced business professionals, we are united to reach our ambitious goal. Are you a quantum pioneer? Join us on a mission to reshape the future!
As part of a fast-moving quantum computing start-up, the Building & Facilities Maintenance Technician will ensure the smooth operation, safety, and compliance of all building systems and site infrastructure. This includes maintaining critical laboratory environments, clean rooms, cryogenic facilities, and core building services across multiple development sites. The role demands adaptability, a proactive approach, and the ability to work in an environment where R&D priorities can shift rapidly.
Responsabilities
Facilities & Infrastructure Maintenance
Carry out preventive and corrective maintenance on:
HVAC systems for clean rooms and laboratories (temperature, humidity, and particle control)
Electrical distribution and backup systems (including UPS and generator checks)
Plumbing, purified water systems, and compressed gas lines
Building structure, security systems, and controlled-access installations
React quickly to unplanned breakdowns to minimize R&D disruption.
Laboratory & Quantum Facility Support
Maintain clean room integrity by monitoring pressure differentials, filtration, and gowning protocols.
Assist in the safe operation and support of cryogenic systems, following specialist engineers’ guidance.
Monitor and support environmental conditions vital for quantum hardware stability (e.g., temperature stability, vibration control).
Safety, Compliance & Standards
Work in accordance with ISO 45001 occupational health & safety, ISO 14001 environmental management, and ISO 50001 energy efficiency principles.
Support risk assessments, incident reporting, and the control of hazards specific to high-tech laboratories (e.g., cryogens, high voltage, laser safety).
Maintain safe work practices in line with NEBOSH and company safety training.
Monitoring, Reporting & Documentation
Use the CMMS (computerized maintenance management system) to log all work orders, inspections, and repairs.
Maintain accurate service histories for facility and lab support equipment.
Provide daily/weekly reports to the Maintenance Planner on system performance and urgent issues.
Emergency Preparedness & Rapid Response
Respond immediately to alarms or urgent issues (HVAC failure, power loss, water leaks, cryostat cooling interruption).
Participate in crisis simulations and support emergency interventions following the company’s crisis management plan.
Continuous Improvement & Start-up Agility
Identify and propose cost-effective improvements to facility reliability, safety, and energy use.
Support rapid prototyping or ad-hoc facility modifications needed for evolving R&D projects.
Embrace multi-skilled work to adapt to the varied demands of a growing start-up.
Profile
Education: Technical diploma or vocational certificate in mechanical, electrical, building services, or HVAC engineering**.**
Experience: 3+ years in building/facility maintenance in a high-tech, semiconductor, research, or clean room environment; start-up experience is a plus.
