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.
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.
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.
