Head of Electronics & Bring-Up (f/m/d)

Job description

Your mission Location: Stuttgart, Germany: Type: Permanent employment, full-time, onsite with max. 1 day remote work per week The future of AI computing builds on light. 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. The electronics that drive, control, and integrate these systems are mission-critical - and this role owns them end to end. As Head of Electronics & Bring-Up, you will architect, realize, and bring up the complex electronic systems at the core of Q.ANT's photonic-ASIC-based AI accelerators. You will lead a small, high-caliber team of electronics engineers, own the full development lifecycle from first concept through production handover, and define the architecture, methods, and supplier base that determine whether Q.ANT's hardware reaches the market on time, on spec, and at cost. You report directly to the SVP Hardware, operate with high autonomy, and work at the intersection of photonics, electronics, and AI compute - a genuinely first-of-kind engineering challenge. What You Will Do: - Define and own the architect...
