Chief of Staff to the CTO

Permanent employee, Full-time · München

Description
We are looking for an early-career engineer to support our founder and CTO Fleming Bruckmaier with his day-to-day work. This role is ideal for an early-career engineer who wants to grow into a technical leadership position. You will support our CTO in coordinating cross-functional hardware projects, preparing technical documentation, and tracking development milestones. It’s a unique opportunity to work side by side with the founding team and gain broad exposure to strategic decisions in a deep-tech startup environment.
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 30-strong team of physicists, engineers, and data scientists works side by side with major semiconductor manufacturers, helping them in chip debugging and accelerating their 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 Quantum Diamonds?
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.

  • Track developments in academic research, chip metrology, quantum tools, and security testing and feed insights back into our tech and BD strategy
What is expected of you
  • 2-4 years experience in a fast-paced, technical environment (e.g., engineering, applied physics, quantum, semiconductors, sensing systems)
  • MSc or PhD in a technical field (e.g., physics, EE, CS, materials science)
  • Comfortable moving between deep technical work, strategic decisions, and operational execution
  • Proven ownership of cross-functional technical projects
  • Bonus: Experience in founder support, research translation, or industry-scale PoC execution
