Native Processing Server Architect (m/f/d)

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 our Native Processing Server Architect (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…
