Principal Quantum Design Verification Engineer

At Microsoft Quantum, we aim to empower science and scientists to solve the world's biggest problems by realizing advanced computing platforms at the intersection of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum information technology. Our team is dedicated to developing the first scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer and is leading progress in areas ranging from quantum hardware and error correction to comprehensive integration with Azure. Our full-stack strategy spans the physics of quantum devices through scalable readout and control infrastructures powered by cryo-electronics. We are entering a pivotal phase of accelerated growth in quantum computing, and this position presents a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a transformative technology. As a Principal Quantum Design Verification Engineer on the Quantum 1st Party Hardware System-on-Chip (SoC) team, you will play a critical leadership role in advancing the development of the team's quantum SoC verification infrastructure. Your responsibilities will include defining pre-silicon Simulation plans and post-silicon Validation/Characterization plans for SoC and Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, and coordinating individuals, contingent staff, and external vendors to deliver a high-quality design. You will work across SoC architecture, quantum hardware, analog design, and physical design teams throughout the program lifecycle to bring SoC and IP into production at the quality required for scalable quantum systems. If you thrive on complex challenges and foundational technologies that redefine what's possible, we invite you to help shape the future of quantum computing. Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
