The posting

Your mission

The future of AI computing is light, not electrons.

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.

As our Team Lead Co-Packaged Optics, you are the architectural and leadership anchor of our next-generation semiconductor packaging. You will build, coach, and scale a brand-new CPO Packaging Team from the ground up, driving the transition from concept phase to high-volume production. This role is about establishing absolute technical ownership at the intersection of photonics and electronics, bridging the gap between internal cutting-edge chip design and external global OSAT manufacturing.

Your Responsibilities

  • Leadership & Team Architecture: Build, mentor, and disciplinarily lead a high-performing CPO Packaging engineering team; execute gap analyses and strategic hiring to accelerate our scaling roadmap.
  • OSAT & Supply Chain Mastery: Own the evaluation, qualification, and end-to-end technical management of global OSAT partners, ensuring the secure onboarding of at least two qualified CPO suppliers within 12 months.
  • Technical Ownership (CPO & Fiber Attach): Drive the development of advanced co-packaged photonic/electronic assemblies, mastering deep hardware challenges across optical fiber coupling (Edge Coupling, FAUs), advanced packaging materials, and high-performance thermal management.
  • Design for Excellence (DFM): Bridge the gap between engineering and mass manufacturing by implementing strict Design for Manufacturability (DFM) guidelines and ensuring reliability qualification under JEDEC and Telcordia standards.
  • Cross-Functional Synergy: Act as the critical interface between internal Chip Design, Systems, Manufacturing, Test, and external supply chain stakeholders to ensure a seamless product introduction (NPI) and volume production roll-out.
  • Continuous Engineering Quality: Champion rigorous root-cause analysis utilizing structured frameworks (8D, FMEA, Ishikawa) to rapidly resolve unexpected reliability or process deviations.

Your profile

  • Academic Foundation: You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a closely related technical field.
  • Semiconductor & OSAT Expertise: You possess at least 5 years of profound experience within the Semiconductor Packaging industry (Back-End / OSAT environment), with a proven track record in global supplier evaluation.
  • CPO & Precision Hands-on Skills: You have direct, hands-on experience with Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) packaging, optical fiber attachment methods, and navigating advanced packaging materials (substrates, underfills, TIMs).
  • Leadership & Empowerment: You have demonstrated experience in building, scaling, and coaching engineering teams, fostering a culture of high performance and technical accountability.
  • Analytical Self-Leadership: You thrive in high-growth, innovative environments, demonstrating an advanced solution-oriented mindset and strong process ownership under tight project milestones.
  • Communication Excellence: You possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills; fluency in English is required. Prior experience with glass substrates and proficiency in German are considered a distinct advantage for collaborating with local stakeholders.

Why us?

  • We hire for attitude and train for skills.
  • We encourage self-responsibility and accelerate professional development.
  • We move fast and encourage experimentation.
  • You have the opportunity to be part of developing breakthrough photonic computing technology and have a lasting impact on the future of computing.
  • You can be part of a passionate international, highly skilled cross-functional team.
  • You will have access to the founders of the company.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
