**SouthwestX**
**CHILLQUANTA** Bochum, Germany (Ruhr University Bochum) \| On-site / Hybrid \| Co-Founder / Equity \| Deep Tech / Quantum & Semiconductor Metrology
**About ChillQuanta** ChillQuanta is developing an electro-optic spectrometer for inspecting and characterizing photonic qubits (semiconductor quantum-dot single- and entangled-photon sources), aiming to replace or combine today’s separate methods (capacitance-voltage, photoluminescence, resonance fluorescence spectroscopy) with one new sub-100-femtosecond-resolution, non-destructive electro-optic technique — with a patent filing already in progress. Target market: quantum and semiconductor chip makers.
**The opportunity** Founded by Amar Alok (CEO, PhD in Experimental Physics from RUB, 4+ years in ultrafast optics and pump-probe spectroscopy) alongside a Chemistry postdoc, ChillQuanta has a lab prototype (TRL 3-4) benchmarked against single-atom data, an Invention Disclosure accepted by RUB (April 2026) with a manuscript in preparation for Physical Review Letters, and over €12k raised so far. The next step is turning the lab prototype into an automated instrument and deciding between licensing and starting a company — which is where a business co-founder comes in. ChillQuanta is separately also open to an AI/ML co-founder to help build wafer-scale AI prediction capability.
Tasks
**What you will own**
Company build-up & strategy
– Help decide and execute the path from lab prototype to company: licensing vs. start-up, incorporation, and go-to-market strategy for the quantum/semiconductor metrology market.
– Own fundraising strategy and investor relations as ChillQuanta moves beyond its initial ~€12k raised.
Commercialization
– Turn the lab prototype (TRL 3-4) into an automated, sellable instrument in partnership with the technical team.
– Build relationships with semiconductor and quantum chip makers as early customers and design partners.
Business operations
– Establish the commercial and operational foundation (pricing, business model, partnerships) the founding science team doesn’t yet have.
Requirements
**What you bring**
**Core experience** – Business development or MBA-level commercial experience, ideally with deep-tech, scientific instrumentation, or semiconductor/quantum industry exposure.
– Comfort making a licensing-vs-startup call and building a go-to-market plan from a lab-stage prototype.
**Especially valuable** – Existing network in quantum technology, semiconductor metrology, or scientific instrumentation.
– Fundraising experience for deep-tech ventures (grants and/or investors).
– ChillQuanta is separately seeking an AI/ML co-founder to build wafer-scale AI prediction — relevant ML/software experience is valuable for that parallel track.
Benefits
**Why join ChillQuanta**
– A validated lab prototype (TRL 3-4) benchmarked against single-atom data, with an Invention Disclosure already accepted by RUB and a manuscript heading to Physical Review Letters.
– A genuinely novel technique (patent filing in progress) addressing a real gap in photonic-qubit inspection for the fast-growing quantum and semiconductor chip markets.
– Ground-floor business co-founder equity alongside a strong physics/chemistry founding team.
ChillQuanta welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic. This is a search for the right partner to build the company with, not a conventional hire.
