Description

We are seeking a skilled mechanical or optical engineer to support the development and automation of our quantum sensing measurement systems. In this role, you will design and optimize high-stability components and motion assemblies that enable sub-micron positioning and reproducible measurements. You will work on high precision optics in both laser optics and the microscopy field. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary engineering team, our engineering partners, and vendors to bring the first commercial generation of our precision instruments to market.

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 programmes, we have ensured long-term stability, shifting from breakthrough to scale - and shaping the next chapter in chip testing.

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 that loves solving hard problems and where knowledge flows fast.

Still unsure about why you should join 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

Design and construction of optical and/or mechanical units
Conduct simulations, tolerance analysis, and testing to validate designs and ensure long-term stability and reproducibility.
Collaborate closely with optical engineers, mechanical engineers, electronics engineers, and software developers to ensure seamless integration of mechanical systems into the full measurement workflow.
Document designs, test results, and integration guidelines in a clear and structured manner.

What is expected of you

MSc degree with 4+ years of industry experience, or PhD with at least 3 years of industry experience.
Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in design and construction
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams.
Structured working style with the ability to develop and manage modular, structured BOMs.
Proficient in the use of CAD systems.
Experience with the following topics is a strong plus: Radio frequency engineering, Zeemax, quantum physics, semiconductor tooling, system-level engineering
