QuiX Quantum is at the forefront of the development of photonic quantum computing, a rapidly developing sector. Since our start in 2019, we have presented two world record-breaking quantum photonic processors. These are low-loss, multimode, reconfigurable interferometers, that allow the user to perform arbitrary, controlled interference between a number of optical channels, in the classical or quantum domain. QuiX Quantum's processors are industry-leading in the number of optical channels (20), low loss (2.9 dB), and high transformation fidelity (99%), making them an excellent solution for many applications. Not only in quantum computing, but also for quantum communication, QRNG, machine learning, and more. As a fast-growing company, we are now looking for an intern or a Master’s thesis student at our office in Stuttgart, Germany.  What will you be doing? As an intern or student you will be part of the engineering team that works on assembling, testing and delivering our photonic processors to our customers. Your tasks will be focussed analysing, documenting and optimization of our production and quality assurance processes.   You will take care of: - Analysis, documentation, design and optimization of processes ensuring efficient production. - Application of best practices in lean management, operational excellence and quality management. You will collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of experts in quantum computing, photonics, electronics, theory, and experimental physics. What we ask of you: - A bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline and enrollment in a master’s program - Knowledge in production and operation processes and optimization - Proficiency in spoken and written English. - Critical thinking and problem-solving skills. - An organized and methodical style of working with excellent documentation skills. The following would be an advantage: - Knowledge in lean management and operational excellence. - Knowledge in quality assurance and management (ISO 9001, 5S). - Experience with ERP systems. - Experience with photonic devices and/or quantum photonic computation. - Experience with software management. - Proficiency in spoken and/or written German. What to expect from us: Working in a start-up means that your work contributes directly to the direction of the company. Together, we work on awesome and challenging projects in a high-tech and innovative environment. Everyone has their own specialty and together we form a dynamic and diverse team.
