We are seeking a motivated working student or intern to contribute to the development of next-generation quantum sensing hardware. Your tasks will include supporting the design, assembly, and characterisation of optoelectronic and mechanical components used in our high-performance microscopy systems. You will also be involved in experimental measurements with our device to image functional activity in advanced integrated circuits, helping to evaluate performance and resolve device-level behaviours. The role further includes day-to-day lab operations such as inventory management and logistics.

This opportunity is ideal for someone driven by cutting-edge technology and precision measurement. Join us to explore the interface of optics, quantum technology, and high-resolution imaging.

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.

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

• Assemble and test hardware components, including optical and mechanical subsystems
• Support lab measurements with our quantum sensing microscope on advanced integrated circuits
• Assist with lab logistics, inventory management, and procurement tracking
• Document test procedures, setups, and experimental results
• Collaborate with team members to improve prototypes and experimental setups
• Contribute to maintaining an organised and efficient lab environment

We’re looking for someone with a background in physics, electrical engineering, optics, or a related field who enjoys hands-on work in a lab setting. Familiarity with imaging systems, sensor technologies, or data analysis is a strong plus. You should be detail-oriented, proactive, and eager to take on technical challenges. Most importantly, you are curious and collaborative, and bring a structured working style to help us push the boundaries of quantum sensing technology.

Requirements:

• You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s or Master’s programme in Physics, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• You are familiar with basic lab tools (e.g. oscilloscopes, soldering equipment, optical components)
• You are independent, reliable, and enjoy practical problem solving
• You are comfortable with hands-on technical tasks in a lab environment
• You have experience with data analysis, ideally using Python or similar tools
• You are available for 15–20 hours per week and can work from our Munich office

It's a plus if you have:

• You have experience with optical alignment or optomechanics
• You have worked with PCB design tools (e.g. KiCAD, Altium)
• You have experience with measurement automation (e.g. via scripting or lab software)

• Free snacks in our office in the cool Werksviertel Munich neighborhood
• Sport membership via Well Pass
• Flexible hours
