DescriptionQuantumDiamonds is building commercial quantum sensing tools for semiconductor inspection and failure analysis.
As our Quantum Sensing Engineer (NV Centers), you will join the Hardware Pre-Development Team and take technical ownership of the sensing core of our widefield Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM).
At the heart of your role is one question: how do we get more performance out of the NV sensing system?You will work across the complete sensing chain — from the diamond sensor and laser excitation through microwave spin control and bias magnetics to fluorescence collection and camera readout.
When sensitivity, resolution, speed, or stability falls short, you will investigate the system end to end, identify the limiting mechanism, and turn your findings into measurable improvements.
The diamond sensor itself is an important part of that challenge.
Together with internal experts and external partners, you will help drive the development of our NV diamond material — connecting epitaxy, irradiation, annealing, surface preparation, and optical coatings to the performance we ultimately achieve at the system level.
This is a hands-on R&D role spanning quantum physics, experimental hardware, and sensor development.
You will take ideas from first principles through experiments and prototypes to validated technologies that can be transferred into our products.
Who we areFounded 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 strong, international team of over 70, including physicists, engineers, data scientists, and other experts, works side by side with major semiconductor manufacturers, supporting chip debugging and accelerating 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.
