We are an accomplished and diverse international team focused on constructing a scalable quantum computing system. Our full-stack strategy encompasses breakthrough developments, spanning the physics of quantum devices to scalable readout and control infrastructures powered by cryo-electronics. The Microsoft Quantum program aims to transform the future of computing and tackle challenges that are currently beyond reach. We are entering a pivotal phase of accelerated growth in quantum computing, and this position presents a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully to transformative technology.

Job Responsibility:

  • Program Management: Lead all phases of quantum hardware projects, from concept to delivery, working closely with architects, scientists, and engineers for success
  • Create concise, data-driven updates on program status, risks, dependencies, and impact for stakeholders and senior executives
  • Planning & Roadmapping: Coordinate with leadership and engineering teams to build and maintain clear development roadmaps, align milestones, manage resources, and support long-term goals
  • Guide Agile processes, encourage transparency, and remove obstacles to meet critical deadlines
  • Team Coordination: Ensure effective collaboration across device physics, cryoelectronic, materials science, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, and cloud hardware operations for scalable solutions
  • Customer Feedback: Use input from internal and pilot customers to improve hardware and processes
  • This includes potential customers from US Government
  • Risk Mitigation: Identify and reduce risks in technology, scheduling, and operations, applying continuous improvement throughout
  • Supplier Relations: Manage external partnerships, enforce quality and safety standards, and drive cross-company compliance
  • Culture & Mentorship: Foster respect, collaboration, integrity, inclusivity, and continuous learning within the team
  • Other: Embody our Culture and Values

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience in engineering, physics or a related STEM field, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience
  • 3+ years of experience managing cross-functional and/or cross-team projects
  • 3+ years of experience managing large-scale, interdisciplinary hardware technology projects from concept to delivery, including system integration, cross-functional team leadership, and coordination across multiple teams
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements
  • Ability to apply AI to accelerate engineering and lab workflows
  • Ability to evaluate agentic solutions with measurable metrics and humanintheloop safeguards following Microsoft Responsible AI requirements for generative AI

Nice to have:

  • PhD/Doctorate in a relevant field (e.g., quantum information, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, hardware systems) and 12+ years of applied engineering experience in quantum computing and/or cryogenic hardware programs, or equivalent experience
  • 12+ years managing multi-year, highly complex hardware product portfolios involving deep tech and/or first-of-a-kind technologies (e.g., quantum systems, ASICs, FPGA, advanced chip packaging, cryoelectronics, high-reliability hardware)
  • Demonstrated experience leading large-scale, cross-functional, cross-organization hardware systems programs end-to-end (R&D through new technology introduction), with strong program management fundamentals (planning, issue/risk tracking, schedule management, and stakeholder reporting) and proficiency with Agile and Azure DevOps (or similar)
  • Direct experience with one or more of: quantum device development, quantum error correction, or quantum measurement/control hardware
  • Experience driving external partnerships (universities/government/consortia) and technology transfer from R&D to scaled engineering/manufacturing (including quality systems and test protocols), along with proven ability to lead teams in a matrixed environment and communicate complex technical concepts across levels (including executive and non-technical stakeholders)
