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.
Why join us?Picture this:- Quantum sensors that see inside the most advanced chips on Earth, right where two frontier fields collide.
- Nobel-Prize physics aimed at real customers with real problems, in production now, not someday.
- Physicists, data scientists, and engineers building side by side, turning deep science into tools the industry actually runs on.
- An international team that runs at hard problems for fun, where knowledge moves fast and so do you.
Still unsure about why joining us?- You'll get to build a company together with a brilliant and welcoming team on a product that has never been done before.
- From Day 1, you'll own your own topics end to end and see the direct impact of your work on how the world sees QuantumDiamonds.
- Our technology is the cutting edge of tomorrow, starting today and not in 10 years.
- You’ll be part of a high-growth company backed by top-tier investors.
Let’s make the invisible visible!
What will you do- Own the product requirements: gather needs from customers, the field, the market, and internal stakeholders (serviceability, modularity and product configuration, manufacturability, and cost targets), and turn them into clear, prioritized, solution-neutral requirements.
- Establish our requirements engineering tooling and workflow: select and set up how we capture, trace, and maintain requirements, from customer need through specification to verification, including change control across releases. This is a foundational task in your first months.
- Own and maintain the QDm.1 roadmap: propose what gets built and in what order, make the trade-offs explicit, and align decisions with the management team.
- Work with the applications team on customer interactions and evaluations with fabs, IDMs, OSATs and failure analysis labs, and translate what you learn into requirements.
- For each requirement, define acceptance criteria from the customer's point of view so it is clear and testable when the need is met, and link them to customer evaluation and qualification plans.
- Align with the Product Development department on scope and timing, and hand solution-neutral requirements into engineering: state the need and the why, and leave the how to the disciplines.
- Support go-to-market: give input on positioning, pricing, launch readiness, and documentation scope together with the applications, operations, and product development teams.
What is expected of you- Several years in product management for complex hardware or capital equipment, ideally in semiconductor, metrology, or a comparable deep-tech environment.
- A track record of writing clear product requirements that engineering can actually build from.
- The ability to talk to both customers and engineers and to translate between them.
- Enough technical depth to hold a credible conversation with the people designing the product, across mechanics, optics, electronics/RF, and software.
- Structured prioritization: you make trade-offs explicit and back them with reasoning.
- We hire for demonstrated skill rather than a specific degree; a technical or scientific background is typical. The working language is English.
Additional experience we value:- Semiconductor industry knowledge (fabs, IDMs, OSATs, inspection, metrology, or failure analysis).
- Familiarity with SEMI standards and fab tool integration (for example, S2/S8, E10, SECS/GEM).
- Experience selecting or setting up a requirements management tool (for example, Jama, Polarion, or CodeBeamer).
- A working understanding of quantum sensing, optics, or precision instrumentation.
Our benefits- Mission: At QD, we’re driven by more than just building great products - we aim to make a lasting difference. Joining us means contributing to meaningful work that goes beyond business as usual.
- Impact & growth: This is an exciting stage of our journey, and your voice matters. You’ll have the chance to shape our culture, influence key decisions, and grow alongside a company that’s scaling fast.
- Health & fitness: With a company-sponsored Wellpass membership, you’ll have access to countless gyms, classes, and wellness offers across Germany to stay healthy and active.
- Team & culture: We believe the best ideas come when we connect outside the office. From regular off-sites to team events, you’ll be part of a collaborative and supportive environment.
- Well-being & balance: We value rest and recovery. That’s why you’ll enjoy 30 vacation days plus public holidays to recharge and return inspired.
- Learning & development: Your growth is our priority. We provide an annual budget dedicated to courses, conferences, or any resources that help you expand your skills.
- Ownership & participation: As part of our equity program, you’ll directly share in our success and the value we create together.
