Native Processing Server Engineer (m/f/d)
Q Ant Gmbh · Stuttgart

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 our **Native Processing Server Engineer (m/f/d)**, within our Operations team, you will operate at the intersection of deep engineering execution and forward-looking platform architecture. You will take ownership of designing, building, and evolving our Native Processing Server (NPS) platform—from prototype construction and hardware evaluation to scaling strategies and deployment concepts. Hands-on with hardware and systems, you don't just specify architectures, you build, test, and validate them, directly shaping how our photonic technology reaches production and field environments.

**Your Impact & Responsibilities**

- Define and own the NPS platform architecture and platform roadmap**,** driving the evolution of server concepts, hardware selection, and deployment models
- Drive end-to-end technical execution, including prototype construction, hardware bring-up, system configuration, thermal/power validation, and maintenance concepts
- Optimize system density, performance, and manufactur ability by collaborating closely with teams from hardware engineering, NPU development as well as NPU production, to ensure seamless integration and service ability
- Establish scalable installation and deployment processes, collaborating with cloud/hosting partners and enterprise data center environments
- Support Field Application Engineering (FAE) with deep architectural expertise during complex customer deployments and integration phases
- Drive platform innovation and continuous improvement, translating real-world engineering learnings and market requirements into actionable platform features
- Align platform strategy and priorities with the Director of Operations, product management, and cross-functional engineering teams

- **Education:** M.Sc. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field
- **Experience**: 5+ years of hands-on experience in IT architecture, HPC, or enterprise IT infrastructure
- **Technical Mastery:** Deep understanding of server technologies, data center operations, cluster computing, high-density server design, power/cooling constraints, and hardware deployment
- **Hands-on Execution:** Proven track record in prototype build, hardware bring-up, system validation, and server installations (OS, networking, low-level configuration)
- **Product & Customer Orientation:**Experience in product ownership/lead technical roles, alongside exposure to technical sales, consulting, or field deployment support
- **Software & AI Skills:**Familiarity with software development processes, AI workloads, or system integration (a strong plus)
- **Languages:** Fluent in English; proficiency in German or another European language is a plus

- **Work on the leading edge:** Photonic AI acceleration technologies that will define the next decade of computing - already validatedin production HPC environments
- **Make impact at scale:** Help solve one of computing's biggest challenges - making growing demand in compute and sustainability go hand in hand
- **Own your work from day one:** Broad autonomy and decision authority with direct impact on product success and the future of AI infras
