Job description

Description

We are seeking an exceptional Managing Director APAC to build, lead, and scale our regional organization end-to-end. This is a defining leadership role responsible for market development, customer success, operations, hiring, logistics, and daily coordination with our Munich headquarters.

You will represent QuantumDiamonds in the most dynamic semiconductor region in the world; where next-generation architectures are defined, packaging innovation accelerates, and decisions on tomorrow’s system designs are made. You will guide your customers as they adopt quantum sensing for advanced failure analysis, system debug, and measurement workflows, and you will shape how QuantumDiamonds becomes a trusted partner across APAC.

This role is ideal for someone who wants founder-level ownership, thrives in building from the ground up, and has the ambition to scale a high-impacttechnology across a pivotal global market.

Who we are

QuantumDiamonds is one of the world's most advanced deep-tech companies, developing quantum-sensing systems that redefine electrical fault localization and yield engineering in modern semiconductor manufacturing. Our technology visualizes current paths inside highly complex multi-layer packages, enabling engineers to understand, debug, and optimize next-generation devices faster and with unprecedented precision.

Backed by leading international investors and major public innovation programs, we are entering a high-growth phase as we prepare to ship our first series devices next year. Headquartered in Munich, Germany, QuantumDiamonds works closely with leading semiconductor manufacturers across Asia, the US, and Europe on the future of HBM, chiplets, advanced fan-out, and system-level integration.

Why join us?

Picture this:

• A machine that catches what others miss – in milliseconds.
• Physics, data, and engineering are working hand in hand to build tools that matter.
• An international team, who loves solving hard problems and where knowledge flows fast.

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.
• Our technology is the cutting edge of tomorrow, starting today and not in 10 years.
• You will work directly with major semiconductor companies from Day 1.
• You’ll get virtual shares and act on behalf of the entire company, beyond just your own team.
• You’ll be part of a high-growth company backed by top-tier investors.

Let’s make the invisible visible!
