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, * 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 infrastructure * Fast-track your growth: Work on challenges with few industry precedents - every problem you solve becomes new institutional knowledge and potentially industry-defining IP * World- class team: Collaborate alongside a passionate, international, cross-functional team of experts in photonics, processor design, and AI systems * Direct access to leadership: Work closely with the company's founders, including CEO Dr. Michael Förtsch, and the Q.ANT senior leadership team * Collaborative culture: Innovative work environment that values technical excellence, open communication, and pragmatic problem-solving * Be part of history: Join at the inflection point where photonic computing transitions from research to mainstream - your contributions will shape this transformation ## Related Videos - [Architecting the Future: Leveraging AI, Cloud, and Data for Business Success](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1096-architecting-the-future-leveraging-ai-cloud-and-data-for-business-success) - [Scoring 2000 Products per Request: Performance Pitfalls in Golang](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2073-scoring-2000-products-per-request-performance-pitfalls-in-golang) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [How Your Bundle Size Affects The Climate](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/308-how-your-bundle-size-affects-the-climate) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [Finding Jobs in Germany](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/375-finding-jobs-in-germany) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs) - [Finding IT & Technology English-speaking Jobs in Germany ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/446-finding-it-technology-english-speaking-jobs-in-germany) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Jobs in Germany for Americans](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/423-jobs-in-germany-for-americans) - [Top-Paying Tech Jobs (with Salaries)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/372-top-paying-tech-jobs-with-salaries)
