Founders Associate Intern – CEO Office (f/m/d)

QuantumDiamonds is looking for a sharp, driven Founders Associate Intern (m/f/d) to work directly alongside our founders in the CEO Office and help run one of Europe's most exciting deep-tech startups. This is not a support role at the edge of the action. You'll sit at the center of it, taking on the projects that matter most to the company at any given moment, from strategy and operations to fundraising prep, business development, and internal process building.

Your work will have real impact: our product and our whole company are evolving at breakneck speed, and we need someone who can take a messy problem, structure it, and drive it to a result. One week you might be building a financial model or preparing an investor update, the next you're untangling an operational bottleneck or take on responsibility to ship a tool to a Asia. This is a rare opportunity for a generalist who wants genuine responsibility, broad exposure to how a company is actually built, and a front-row seat next to the founders. If you are ambitious, hands on, and want to learn faster than anywhere else, this is the right role for you.

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.

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 QuantumDiamonds runs and grows.
• Our technology is the cutting edge of tomorrow, starting today and not in 10 years.
• Sitting in the CEO Office, you'll have real responsibility, a voice that counts, and the chance to shape how we operate as we scale.
• You'll be part of a high-growth company backed by top-tier investors.

Let's see what others can't!

Most importantly: Jump on whatever matters most right now, acting as a flexible right hand to the founders on high-priority topics.

• Take full ownership of cross-functional projects that land on the founders' desk, from framing the problem to delivering the result.
• Prepare board and investor materials, updates, and presentations, and support fundraising and reporting processes end to end.
• Build structure where there is none by designing and improving internal processes, tools, and workflows as we scale.
• Build financial models, dashboards, and business cases to support key decisions.
• Partner directly with technical, commercial, and leadership teams (including the CEO) to move priorities forward and unblock the team.
• Support hiring and organizational topics, helping us attract and onboard the talent we need to grow.
