Fiducial is a young but fast-growing deep-tech start-up with big ambitions at the frontier of autonomy, perception, and defence.
We develop and deploy software for on-board UAV 3D vision in military applications. Our software solutions are built for
scalability first, using low-cost and widely available sensors and compute.
We develop our software in the field and close to the points of use. Flight testing is key for what we do and we test all across
Europe. Our team members have strong academic background in different fields such as Aerospace Engineering, Computational Science
and Engineering, Robotics and Computer Graphics. Our main office is located in the TU Delft campus in the faculty of Aerospace
Engineering.
We work closely with top-tier partners, ranging from drone manufacturers to research institutes. Our projects span from orders in
collaboration with operational partners to low-TRL research with government agencies. Whether through formal R&D programs or rapid
prototyping tracks, we operate at the intersection of innovation and deployment.
As a Senior 3D Vision Engineer for Aerial Robotics, you will have broad ownership over core functionalities of Fiducial Scout: our
on-board situational awareness software for UAVs. This includes interception detection, collision avoidance, target acquisition,
and GNSS-denied visual navigation. You will shape and drive the short-to-medium-term development roadmap. In addition, depending
on the project, you may take on the role of Tech Lead, guiding technical direction, coordinating implementation efforts, and
ensuring delivery within the scope of a specific project. This is a project-based leadership responsibility within our flat
organization, rather than a formal managerial position.

ABOUT US QuantWare is building the world’s most powerful quantum processors to solve humanity's greatest challenges. We do this with our unique VIO™ technology, the only QPU architecture that breaks the hardware barriers that have held quantum computing back, unlocking the path to MegaQubit quantum processors. With VIO, we are paving the way for the hyper-scale quantum computers that will change the world. And delivering on that vision demands people who don’t shy away from tackling the hardest challenges of our time. That’s where you come in! As a 3D Packaging & Tooling Engineer, you won't just be running a recipe, you will be the lead architect for how our VIO products are physically realized. You will take high-precision assembly machines and push them beyond their factory specs to handle novel 3D architectures and the precise tolerances required for optimal device performance. What you'll be doing * Tooling Adaptation: Lead the modification and customization of high-precision assembly equipment (e.g., flip-chip bonders, die attaches) to meet unique quantum 3D integration requirements. * Advanced Process Development: Develop sub-micron placement and bonding processes (thermo-compression bonding, laser-assisted bonding, coldwelding) for non-standard substrates. Lead the evaluation of glues, adhesives, and solder materials. You will determine which materials can meet our alignment requirements while surviving the extreme thermal cycling and vacuum conditions of a dilution refrigerator. * Non-Standard 3D Assembly: Design and execute "out-of-the-box" integration strategies, including multi-die stacking, interposer-based 3D architectures, and orthogonal (vertical) chip placement. * Vendor Management: Interface directly with equipment manufacturers to drive co-development of specialized hardware. Your Profile * Education: BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or Materials Science. * Deep Tooling Fluency: 7+ years of hands-on experience with high-accuracy semiconductor assembly platforms. You are the person who knows which bolts to turn and which sensors to override to get the results you need. * Precision Assembly Expertise: Proven track record of achieving <1µm (or even <0.5µm) placement accuracy in a production or R&D environment. * 3D Integration Knowledge: Deep understanding of 3D integration (TSVs, micro-bumps, or Interposers) and how these structures behave under thermal stress. Experience with materials (solders, underfills, adhesives) that must remain stable in high-vacuum or cryogenic environments. * Education: BS/MS/PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics, or Materials Science. Don't tick every box? Apply anyway. We know great candidates don't always follow a straight path, and we value diverse experience, perspectives, and ways of thinking.
