Description
QuantumDiamonds transforms cutting‑edge quantum‑sensing research into production tools that let chipmakers see current flow inside advanced semiconductor devices in seconds. As a Senior Data Scientist you’ll own the end‑to‑end analytics of our quantum‑diamond microscope - optics, electronics and signal processing - and lift its performance through rigorous data‑driven engineering.
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.
- 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.
What will you do
- Analyse quantum‑sensing datasets, extract physical insight and turn it into actionable feedback for customers.
- Design, execute and interpret experiments that probe the optical, electronic and digital signal chains of our microscopes.
- Pinpoint bottlenecks and introduce improvements across hardware and software, championing data‑driven engineering practices.
- Mentor junior data scientists and raise the bar for analysis, documentation and reproducibility.
- Communicate findings in clear reports and concise visuals to both internal teams and external partners in the semiconductor ecosystem.
What is expected of you
- PhD in Physics, Optical/Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related discipline; exceptional candidates with an MSc and 6+ years of hands-on R&D experience are also encouraged to apply.
- Proven track record of 4+ years in a data science and R&D setting outside of academia working with complex optical and/or electronic measurement equipment.
- Expertise in statistical data analysis, experimental design and signal processing with a passion for data‑driven decision making.
- Demonstrated experience developing advanced algorithms for signal processing - from concept through to deployment.
- Fluency in Python (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, matplotlib) and version control.
- Ability to translate raw data into clear stories for technical and non‑technical audiences.
- Collaborative mindset and willingness to work hands‑on in the lab.
- A background in quantum sensing technologies is a significant plus.
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.
