Description

As an Application Engineer (Failure Analysis) , you will be a primary operator of the novel quantum diamond microscopy tools developed at QuantumDiamonds. You will work hands‑on with a continuous stream of customer samples from major chip companies – either shipped to our lab or brought in during on‑site visits – to demonstrate the device capabilities in real‑world failure analysis scenarios.

Your day-to-day will include running measurements, preparing clear and professional customer reports, and contributing to application notes that highlight how our technology solves critical semiconductor challenges. As the main user of the device, your operational feedback will help shape product improvements as well.

If you have a strong background in semiconductor testing, using methods such as Photo‑Emission Microscopy, Lock‑in Thermography, OBIRCH, and SEM‑based techniques (VC, EBAC, EBIRCH) we want to hear from you.

What is expected of you

Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field
Relevant hands‑on experience in the semiconductor testing industry (1‑2+ years), preferably operating laser‑based systems.
You are a high achiever who thrives in a fast‑paced environment where things get done
You are collaborative, team‑oriented, and a problem‑solver passionate about making an impact

Strong assets

Experience in using FA tools such as PEM, LIT, OBIRCH and SEM‑based techniques (VC, EBAC, EBIRCH).
Experience with laser optics
Good understanding of semiconductor device failure modes in practice
Sample preparation experience (de‑encapsulation, wire‑bonding etc.) is a plus

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 us?

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.

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.
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.

Let’s make the invisible visible!

What will you do

Operate and maintain our quantum diamond microscopes to analyze customer‑provided semiconductors and perform live demos.
Ensure meticulous sample handling, storage, and tracking to maintain measurement quality and reliability.
