**CHILLQUANTA **Bochum, Germany (Ruhr University Bochum) | On-site / Hybrid | Co-Founder / Equity | Deep Tech / Quantum & Semiconductor Metrology **.
Target market: quantum and semiconductor chip makers.
**The opportunity **Founded by Amar Alok (CEO, PhD in Experimental Physics from RUB, 4+ years in ultrafast optics and pump-probe spectroscopy) alongside a Chemistry postdoc, ChillQuanta has a lab prototype (TRL 3-4) benchmarked against single-atom data, an Invention Disclosure accepted by RUB (April 2026) with a manuscript in preparation for Physical Review Letters, and over €12k raised so far.
The next step is turning the lab prototype into an automated instrument and deciding between licensing and starting a company — which is where a business co-founder comes in.
ChillQuanta is separately also open to an AI/ML co-founder to help build wafer-scale AI prediction capability.
Tasks What you will own **Company build-up & strategy **- Help decide and execute the path from lab prototype to company: licensing vs.
start-up, incorporation, and go-to-market strategy for the quantum/semiconductor metrology market.
- Own fundraising strategy and investor relations as ChillQuanta moves beyond its initial ~€12k raised.
**Commercialization **- Turn the lab prototype (TRL 3-4) into an automated, sellable instrument in partnership with the technical team.
- Build relationships with semiconductor and quantum chip makers as early customers and design partners.
Business operations - Establish the commercial and operational foundation (pri.
