As a Systems Engineer, MBSE at C12, reporting directly to the Head of Engineering, you will play a central role in bridging fundamental research and industrial-grade engineering. You will work in central Paris at the intersection of theoretical physics and large-scale hardware development, collaborating closely with physicists, engineers, software and product teams. Your mission is to shape, structure, and guide complex quantum hardware systems from early research concepts through to validated, scalable architectures, ensuring that cutting-edge science is translated into robust and manufacturable solutions.
Job Responsibility:
Owning the MBSE system model as the source of truth, including governance for model quality, traceability, and change control
Defining and maintaining a system-level perspective, ensuring alignment with scientific
Defining modelling conventions, abstraction levels, and acceptance criteria for model contributions
Ensuring bidirectional traceability between requirements, architecture, analysis, and verification evidence
Embracing a unique opportunity to pioneer systems engineering methods in quantum computing, developing practices in largely uncharted territory
Working closely with product, design, software, R&D, partnerships, and supply teams to define, refine, and document system and subsystem requirements
Owning the technical decision record at system level, ensuring decisions are consistent with models, experimental data, and approved assumptions
Contributing to the definition of the hardware architecture roadmap across fabrication, testing, integration, validation and scalability
Supporting informed make-or-buy decisions with partners and suppliers
Providing impact analysis for proposed changes, and ensure changes follow agreed review and approval paths
Leading system-level trade studies with explicit criteria, quantified assumptions, and documented decisions, including rationale, risks and follow-up actions
Supporting the design and specification of quantum computer systems, identifying key system bottlenecks, technological barriers to industrialisation, and trade-offs
Collaborating with physicists to review technical papers and research results, translating scientific insights into system trade studies and initial performance requirements
Ensuring research concepts are evaluated against manufacturability and lifecycle constraints at an early stage
Staying current with advances in quantum computing, quantum error correction, and quantum applications
Requirements:
Master’s degree in Engineering, Physics, or a related field
8+ years of experience in systems engineering within engineering-intensive industries such as aerospace, automotive, nuclear, or equivalent
Strong rigor and discipline in system definition, analysis, validation and documentation
Proven experience taking complex hardware systems from early concept through integration, validation, and iteration under technical uncertainty
Proven experience with Model Based Systems Engineering, including hands-on experience with MBSE platforms, system modeling, simulation, and analysis tools
Solid background or understanding of physics, with the ability to engage deeply with scientific concepts and research
Ability to operate in environments with incomplete data, evolving requirements, and high technical risk
