Automation & Controls Integration Engineer (f/m/d)

Description

We're looking for a hands-on Automation & Controls Integration Engineer to develop, integrate, and continuously improve the automation solutions behind our Quantum Diamond Microscope systems. In this role, you'll work on PLC-based control systems, automation hardware, and system integration, helping to bring complex subsystems into a reliable overall platform. You'll collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, and software engineering to support prototyping, commissioning, testing, and troubleshooting, and to ensure our systems are robust, scalable, and ready for deployment.

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 strong team of over 50 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 semiconductor testing.

• You'll be part of a mission that helps ensure semiconductor reliability and accelerates technological advancement.

• Proven background in automation, PLC programming (Siemens, Beckhoff, or similar)

• Experience with control systems integration, industrial automation, or related fields

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills

• Collaborative mindset and enthusiasm to learn from different engineering disciplines

• English fluency (German a plus)

What's in it for you

• Competitive salary

• Flexible working arrangements

• Personal development opportunities

• An energetic, international team environment

• The chance to make a real impact in semiconductor testing technology
