About the role

Description
At QuantumDiamonds, we turn quantum physics into real-world impact. Our technology combines cutting-edge research with precision engineering – and behind it all, we rely on secure, reliable, and efficient digital infrastructure.
As our IT Specialist Intern, you'll get hands-on experience supporting and improving the IT systems that keep our growing team connected and productive. From troubleshooting everyday technical challenges to managing digital tools and supporting IT onboarding, you'll gain valuable insights into IT operations in a fast-growing deep-tech environment.
Working closely with our IT team and colleagues across the company, you'll help maintain our platforms, support users across Windows, macOS, and Linux, and contribute to building a secure, scalable, and future-proof IT environment. You'll have the opportunity to take ownership of tasks, develop your technical skills, and make a real impact from day one.

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, 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 Quantum Diamonds?
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.
