QuantumDiamonds
quantum-sensing systems that see electrical defects inside advanced 3D chips without breaking them apart
Last verified August 15, 2026 · Updated daily
What QuantumDiamonds is building
QuantumDiamonds builds semiconductor inspection systems that use nitrogen-vacancy centers in synthetic diamonds — atomic-scale defects that detect magnetic fields with extreme precision — to map electrical current inside advanced 2.5D and 3D chip packages. In effect, a microscope that sees electricity. As chips go denser and more three-dimensional, buried defects are increasingly invisible to conventional optical and e-beam tools; QD's first commercial system, QDm.1, does non-destructive 3D current imaging at the nanoscale, locating a defect's depth and position without destroying the package. Work that took weeks in specialized failure-analysis labs happens in minutes. Systems are deployed in the US and Taiwan, serial production is ramping in Munich, and the company says nine of the world's ten largest chipmakers are engaged.
Why this matters
Yield is the money problem in advanced packaging — a single percentage-point improvement can be worth millions per week on a high-volume device — and inspection incumbents (KLA, Applied Materials, Onto) are built around light and electron beams that can't see what QD's quantum sensing can. The geopolitical tailwind is real and funded: QD is the first startup approved for manufacturing funding under the European Chips Act, joining names like GlobalFoundries and Carl Zeiss, with €76M in non-dilutive federal and Bavarian money. World Fund's managing partner is explicitly pitching it as Europe's next ASML in a $104B equipment market. Founders Kevin Berghoff (CEO) and Dr. Fleming Bruckmaier (CTO) spun the company out of TU Munich in 2022; its closest technical competitor, Qnami, was recently acquired, leaving QD alone in its lane at exactly the moment demand spikes.

4 positions we're tracking. Roles are re-checked daily and removed when filled.
Hiring outlook
The company states outright that it plans to more than double its engineering team within the next 12 months, from a base of 70 people — and it's simultaneously opening the first section of a large Munich production facility later this year. Doubling engineering while standing up serial manufacturing means sustained hiring across physics, hardware, software, and production roles, most of it in Munich, starting now.
Working at QuantumDiamonds
Since , QuantumDiamonds has built quantum-sensing systems that see electrical defects inside advanced 3D chips without breaking them apart. The team is now 50-200 people. For a Tech company this size, the reality is defined function but no bureaucracy, you'll own a surface area rather than a ticket queue.
Most openings are based out of Munich.
