QuantumDiamonds is a pioneer in quantum sensing, leveraging nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds to develop precise and non-destructive imaging solutions. Founded in 2022 as a spin-off from the Technical University of Munich, we are rapidly expanding with strong industry partnerships and innovative technologies. Our Munich-based lab, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, drives breakthroughs in semiconductor failure analysis and other applications. Backed by leading investors, we are at the forefront of quantum technology innovation.
Why join Quantum Diamonds?
At QuantumDiamonds, you’ll be part of a passionate and multidisciplinary team shaping the future of quantum sensing technology. We offer a collaborative environment at the cutting-edge of science and technology, in the center of Munich. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in advanced optics, imaging, and quantum physics, all while contributing to real-world industrial applications. Together, we aim to revolutionize semiconductor manufacturing and beyond
What will you do
In this role, you will support RF system integration for our quantum diamond microscope by developing and optimising RF delivery systems that enable device operation and signal readout.
You will be involved in hands-on tasks, helping transition designs from concept to functional hardware.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assembling and testing RF hardware using equipment such as spectrum analysers, VNAs, and oscilloscopes
- Supporting lab experiments and real-time measurements with our quantum sensing microscope
- Assisting in the simulation and modelling of RF structures (e.g. antennas) using Ansys HFSS or related tools
- Contributing to schematic design and PCB layout
- Performing soldering and basic electronics assembly tasks
What is expected of you
We are seeking a curious and self-driven student eager to explore the interface of RF engineering and quantum technology. You should enjoy hands-on experimental work and approach technical challenges with a structured and analytical mindset.
Requirements:
- Enrolment in a Bachelor's or Master’s programme in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
- Experience with RF simulation tools such as Ansys HFSS
- Familiarity with PCB design software (e.g. KiCAD, Altium)
- Strong attention to detail, a proactive attitude, and good problem-solving skills
- Willingness to work in a multidisciplinary team
- Proficiency in English (German is a plus)
- Availability to work up to 20 hours per week, with flexibility during exam periods
