Senior Software Engineer – Fabrication Data Mining & Analysis Tools

Your mission

The future of AI computing is light, not electrons.

At  Q.ANT , we are building photonic processing systems that compute with light—delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and high-performance computing.

As a  Senior Software Engineer – Fabrication Data Mining & Analysis , you will play a key role in transforming complex fabrication data into a living, scalable, and user-friendly data platform. Your work will directly support our photonics Integrated Circuit (PIC) manufacturing teams by enabling deeper insights into process parameters, material behavior, and device performance across the full value chain—from wafer to NPU.

Your Impact & Responsibilities

• Drive the further development of Q.ANT’s in-house fabrication database into a robust, production-ready platform
• Design, build, and maintain an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) tailored to user needs across multiple teams
• Develop data mining and analysis tools to identify correlations between fabrication process parameters and physical device behavior
• Enable automated traceability of process steps, results, and deviations across the full manufacturing value chain
• Act as the primary interface for database-related topics, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional stakeholders (manufacturing, physics, engineering, and data teams)
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear, understandable insights for non-expert users

About us

Who we are and what we do

Q.ANT is a photonic deep-tech scale-up developing photonic processing solutions that compute natively with light and deliver a scalable alternative to transistor-based systems. Its Light Empowered Native Arithmetics (LENA) architecture delivers analog co-processing power optimised for complex computation and enabling energy-efficient performance for next-generation AI and HPC applications. Q.ANT operates its own Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) chip pilot line in collaboration with the Institute for Microelectronics Stuttgart, IMS CHIPS, and is currently shipping its Native Processing Servers to selected partners. Q.ANT was founded by Michael Förtsch in 2018 and is headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany.
