Jobbeschreibung

Description

QuantumDiamonds is building the world's first commercial quantum sensing tools for chip failure analysis. As our Quantum Lab Engineering Intern, you will take on a rare hands‑on challenge: building up a brand‑new Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) lab setup from the ground up, together with our hardware and R&D teams. At the same time, you will keep our existing lab running: supporting the assembly, testing, and characterization of our quantum sensing systems, and working with lasers, optics, RF components, and diamond quantum sensors. You will see a quantum lab come to life and keep one running, all within six months. This is a full‑time internship for 6 months, starting as soon as possible.

Who We Are

Founded in 2022 as a spin‑off of TU Munich, QD leverages quantum sensors to rapidly capture three‑dimensional current maps within multi‑layer chips. Our strong, international team of over 70, including physicists, engineers, data scientists, and other experts, works side by side with major semiconductor manufacturers, supporting chip debugging and accelerating yield analysis. Backed by top‑tier deep tech investors, semiconductor experts, and strategic public programs, we have ensured long‑term stability, shifting from breakthrough to scale - and shaping the next chapter in chip testing.

Why join us?

Picture this:

• Quantum sensors that see inside the most advanced chips on Earth, right where two frontier fields collide.
• Nobel‑Prize physics aimed at real customers with real problems, in production now, not someday.
• Physicists, data scientists, and engineers building side by side, turning deep science into tools the industry actually runs on.
• An international team that runs at hard problems for fun, where knowledge moves fast and so do you.

Still unsure about why joining us?

• You’ll get to build a company together with a brilliant and welcoming team on a product that has never been done before.
• From Day 1, you’ll own your own topics end to end and see the direct impact of your work on how the world sees QuantumDiamonds.
• Our technology is the cutting edge of tomorrow, starting today and not in 10 years.
• You’ll be part of a high‑growth company backed by top‑tier investors.

Let’s make the invisible visible!

What Will You Do

• Build up a new QDM lab setup from scratch: planning the layout, installing optical tables, lasers, microscopes, and RF electronics, and bringing the system into operation
• Support the setup, maintenance, alignment, and calibration of lab equipment across our labs
• Assist in assembling and testing opto‑electronic and mechanical components used in our sensor heads and systems
• Prepare and execute measurement routines (e.g., fluorescence imaging, magnetic field scans) in collaboration with physicists and engineers
• Ensure lab safety, cleanliness, and organization, including inventory management and procurement of supplies
• Maintain detailed experimental documentation and support quality assurance processes
• Participate in troubleshooting and continuous improvement of lab procedures

What Is Expected Of You

• Enrolled in or recently graduated from a degree program in Physics, Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field, or comparable practical training
• Available full time for 6 months, starting as soon as possible
• First hands‑on experience in a lab environment; experience with optics, lasers, or RF electronics is a strong plus
• Familiarity with laboratory measurement instruments (e.g., oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies)
• Hands‑on mindset with high attention to detail and cleanliness
• Proactive, reliable, and comfortable working independently in a dynamic R&D environment
• Fluent in English

Our Benefits

• Mission: At QD, we’re driven by more than just building great products - we aim to make a lasting difference. Joining us means contributing to meaningful work that goes beyond business as usual.
• Impact & growth: This is an exciting stage of our journey, and your voice matters. You’ll have the chance to shape our culture, influence key decisions, and grow alongside a company that’s scaling fast.
• Health & fitness: With a company‑sponsored Wellpass membership, you’ll have access to countless gyms, classes, and wellness offers across Germany to stay healthy and active.

• Well‑being & balance: We value rest and recovery. That’s why you’ll enjoy 24 vacation days plus public holidays to recharge and return inspired.

About Us

QuantumDiamonds GmbH, headquartered in Munich, Germany, develops and manufactures semiconductor inspection systems based on quantum sensing. Spun out of the Technical University of Munich in 2022, the company uses nitrogen‑vacancy centers in diamond to map electrical current with micrometer precision inside advanced 2.5D and 3D chip architectures. Nine of the world’s ten largest semiconductor manufacturers are engaged with QuantumDiamonds, with systems deployed across Europe, the United States, and Asia. The company is investing €152 million to build the world’s first production facility for quantum sensing‑based semiconductor inspection tools, supported under the European Chips Act.
