Python Test & Measurement Engineer

Permanent employee, Full-time · München

Description
We are seeking a Python Test & Measurement Engineer to join our fast-growing hardware team. In this junior- to mid-level capacity, you’ll be responsible for writing, refining, and maintaining Python scripts used in testing and measuring a variety of quantum sensing hardware components - including sensors, laser controllers, translation stages, and more. Your work will ensure the hardware team can efficiently explore new ideas and troubleshoot experimental setups without getting bottlenecked by our main, product-focused software stack.
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.
  • 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!
What will you do
  • Develop and maintain Python-based test and measurement scripts for quantum sensing hardware (cameras, translation stages, laser controllers and more)
  • Collaborate closely with hardware engineers to gather experimental requirements and translate them into robust, flexible testing solutions.
  • Assist in setting up complex experimental systems with software-operable components, ensuring accurate data collection and analysis.
  • Troubleshoot, refine, and optimize existing scripts to improve testing throughput and reliability.
  • Own the laboratory computer equipment (Linux platform) and ensure its smooth operation.
  • Adapt quickly to changing project requirements in a dynamic start-up environment.
What is expected of you
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Physics, Electronics, or Mechatronics (or a closely related field).
  • Hands-on experience with complex experimental setups that include multiple software-controlled components.
  • Proficiency in Python scripting for hardware testing, measurement automation, or data acquisition.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment and remain flexible as requirements evolve.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills, with a focus on effective team support.
Our benefits
  • Competitive salary with equity participation.
  • 30 days of paid vacation plus public holidays.
  • Annual learning and development budget.
  • Regular off-sites and team events.
