Job Description

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. Microsoft Quantum will change the world of computing and help solve some of humankind’s currently unsolvable problems. For more information about our team, visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum. Microsoft Quantum is building the world’s first scalable quantum computing system, with a full-stack approach spanning materials, devices, systems, and cloud services. Our hardware strategy is centered on topological qubits, which require sophisticated nanofabrication of hybrid semiconductor–superconductor devices with stringent control of interfaces, materials quality, and process integration. We are seeking a Principal Quantum Materials Nanofabrication Engineer to play a key role in developing, executing, and refining nanofabrication processes that directly support next generation topological qubit devices. This role provides hands-on ownership of fabrication workflows and close coupling to materials growth, device physics, and characterization teams. 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.

  • Communicate results clearly in written reports and technical discussions
  • Transfer research and development processes to high volume manufacturing
  • Tool Stewardship & Knowledge Sharing: Assist with maintenance and qualification of cleanroom tools and processes
  • Train and mentor junior personnel on equipment operation, safety practices, and fabrication best practices
  • AI-Accelerated Engineering: Use modern AI tools to improve efficiency in process development, data analysis, and technical documentation
  • Design or leverage AI agents/copilots to assist with experiment setup, log triage, report generation, protocol templating, and knowledge retrieval
  • Embody our culture and values

Requirements

  • Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 8+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements
  • Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations
  • Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency
  • Ability to work in an AI-first environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through hardware development

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with one or more of the following in a cleanroom environment: Electron-beam lithography
  • Atomic layer deposition (ALD)
  • Thin-film metal deposition
  • Gate dielectric deposition and characterization
  • Ion milling / etching processes
  • Proven track record of developing or improving semiconductor process flows that materially impact device performance
  • Direct experience optimizing and characterizing thin-film gate dielectrics
  • Written and oral communication skills, with attention to detail and process rigor
  • Demonstrated ability to safely operate sophisticated equipment and handle industrial solvents, acids, and bases
  • Hands-on experience developing new process steps and fabrication flows for semiconductor or hybrid devices
  • Demonstrated ability to operate independently in a cleanroom environment and execute complex fabrication workflows
