Process Optimization Intern (f/m/d)

Description QuantumDiamonds (QD) is entering its next phase: with the start of production, we are evolving from a startup into an industrial company. This transition requires an operational foundation built on clean, lean and scalable processes. Join the CEO Office and play a key role in establishing this foundation. As a Process Optimization Intern, you will map our processes in Odoo, from purchase request to bookkeeping, streamline workflows that have grown organically, and automate manual steps. You will work closely with Finance, Procurement and Manufacturing, and your work will have a direct and visible impact on our daily operations. 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 QuantumDiamonds? 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.
