Senior Engineer Overall Integration (m/f/d)
Your mission
Q.ANT is building photonic processing systems that compute with light – delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and HPC applications.
High-performance hardware requires high-performance processes. As our Senior Engineer Overall Integration (m/f/d), your mission is to optimize Q.ANT’s photonic integrated circuit (PIC) manufacturing flow, translating complex data into actionable insights to improve yield, stability, and process efficiency. You will drive cross-functional collaboration, develop tailored solutions, and build the tools that enable fast learning, reproducibility, and scalable production.
Your responsibilities
Optimize and maintain the process of record (POR) for photonic integrated circuit (PIC) manufacturing to maximize yield, stability (Cp & Cpk), and product quality.
Conduct root-cause analysis, implement corrective actions, and drive process improvements across PIC, Assembly, R&D, and Quality Management teams.
Perform production trials (DoE) to align process windows, investigate interactions of processes, and integrate new processes, materials, or equipment.
Develop and manage databases, user interfaces, and data-driven tools to enable process tracking, analysis, and decision-making.
Collaborate across functions, driving communication and alignment between engineering, production, and quality teams.
Identify cross-correlations and patterns in manufacturing data, proposing solutions that improve efficiency, reproducibility, and long-term scalability.
Your profile
Master’s degree in Data Science, Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field.
Strong experience in Python, SQL, and database management systems.
Proven ability to work cross-functionally, manage different technical needs, and translate complex data into actionable insights.
Highly solution-oriented, self-driven, and capable of independent investigations to improve processes.
Strong communication, collaboration, and ownership mindset; able to coordinate multiple stakeholders effectively.
Fluent in English; German or another European language is beneficial.
