About Quantum Brilliance Quantum Brilliance is the world leader in room-temperature quantum computing using synthetic diamonds. Our unique vision is to make quantum computing available as an everyday technology, from data centres to remote and mobile systems like autonomous robots and satellites. In contrast to quantum computers that fill a room, we are developing quantum accelerators with more compute power than a classical supercomputer but in a form factor smaller than a lunchbox. Founded in 2019 by leaders in diamond quantum science from the Australian National University, we are a full-stack quantum computing company. An Australia-German company, our HQs are in Canberra and Stuttgart, with additional locations across eastern Australia and southern Germany. We are working with global technology leaders to develop quantum computing applications, integrate quantum with high-performance computing, solve materials science challenges and develop ultra-precise semiconductor manufacturing and quantum control techniques. We are backed by leading venture capital funds and major research and technology institutes. Overview: Within our diamond fabrication team, we are looking for a Senior R&D Materials Engineer with Project Management experience in industry or Tech Startup environment. This role will support R&D planning, execution and reporting to timely reach challenging milestones for our controlled NV diamonds fabrication roadmap. Mission : You will design and manage R&D projects for the fabrication of NV-diamonds in our in-house designed microwave plasma-assisted CVD reactors, to optimize growth of intrinsic and doped single-crystal diamond layers, diamond surface treatments and support the fabrication controlled NV arrays. The role will be based in our labs located at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics (IAF) in Freiburg im Breisgau, where you will work closely with a highly-skilled team of diamond scientists and process engineers to solve technical challenges to meet challenging milestones. The role offers the unique experience of undertaking world-class research in an environment with a strong commercial purpose. Working language is English. Key Responsibilities: Support R&D diamond growth (CVD) and materials characterization team. P roject planning, de- risk ing and reporting to support the Company roadmap. Supports e ffective resource allocation and time management. Interface with external partners, suppliers and services.
