Founded in 2025, we’re developing ultra-deep laser drilling technologies that push the limits of what’s possible underground. Based in Munich, we’ve raised over €20M in funding from leading European resilience investors including HV Capital, Headline, Project A and Visionaries Tomorrow. We’re now building a world-class team to bring this vision to life.Why Join Hades?\nAt Hades, you'll be part of a high-growth, high-impact deep-tech startup making a tangible difference. Our mission is critical: to secure sovereignty for Europe through the responsible and efficient extraction of vital materials and energy. We offer:\nImpactful Work: Contribute directly to solving global challenges related to resource scarcity and energy independence.\nCutting-Edge Technology: Work at the forefront of ultra-deep drilling, leveraging advanced engineering and innovative approaches.\nGrowth Potential: Join a rapidly expanding company with significant opportunities for personal and professional development.\nDynamic Environment: Thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and entrepreneurial setting in the heart of Munich.\nPurpose-Driven Mission: Be part of a team dedicated to a sustainable and secure future for Europe.\nThe Role\nAs an R&D Technician at Hades, you will be the hands-on force behind testing and building Cerberus, our fibre laser drilling system. Working in our Munich lab, you’ll plan and run experiments on the system and its subsystems, build and align (opto-)mechanical assemblies, and set up the lab infrastructure our development runs on. You’ll take on work that today ties up our physicists and engineers, and bring the practical experience that turns lab prototypes into robust, reliable hardware. Working closely with the optics, mechanical and systems engineering teams, your results feed directly into the next iteration of Cerberus.What you'll do\nTest our laser drilling system and its subsystems - from component checks to full-system runs\nPlan and run experiments independently, in coordination with the development team\nDocument and analyse test results so engineers can act on them\nBuild assemblies: (opto-)mechanical assembly, optical alignment, electronics testing\nSet up, extend and maintain our lab infrastructure\nBring your hands-on experience into design decisions for the next Cerberus iterations\nWhat you bringWe welcome two profiles - if you recognise yourself in either, apply:\nExperimental / test: you have run experiments independently, built lab infrastructure and evaluated results - e.g. in semiconductor equipment, a research institute, or field service on complex machines\nOptical assembly: you have built optical or opto-mechanical assemblies by hand, ideally in a cleanroom or lab environment\nIn both cases:Technician, Bachelor's, or vocational training - your hands-on experience matters more than the title\nExperience with complex technical systems, e.g. optics or lasers, semiconductor equipment, medical devices or vacuum systems\nA careful, precise approach to assembly and experimental setups\nInitiative and a talent for improvisation when the setup doesn't exist yet\nFluent English; German is a plus\nWhy Hades?\n We offerAn opportunity to make a huge impact on the future of Europe by increasing resilience and providing a path to resource and energy sovereignty\nA role with real ownership in a deep-tech company from its early days\nA human-centered company culture with super nice and supportive colleagues\nA great sense of community through team events and fun in and outside the office\nHighly competitive compensation, benefits and equity package\nApply with your CV and any other relevant documents, such as a portfolio, patents or publications.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3816,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity","Professional development"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Rare Earth Metals"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-13T15:19:05Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":73,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.726,"p_room":1,"age_days":9,"expected_fill_days":52,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-23T05:54:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/hades-rd-technician-mfd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/hades-rd-technician-mfd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-23T19:44:10Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":847,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-24T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2103903},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2103903"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fhades-rd-technician-mfd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fhades-rd-technician-mfd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fhades-rd-technician-mfd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/hades-rd-technician-mfd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fhades-rd-technician-mfd"}]}
