  • Identify and reduce risks in technology, scheduling, and operations, applying continuous improvement throughout
  • Manage external partnerships, enforce quality and safety standards, and drive cross-company compliance
  • Foster respect, collaboration, integrity, inclusivity, and continuous learning within the team

Requirements

  • Advanced degree (M.Sc., Ph.D.) in a relevant field (e.g., quantum information, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, hardware systems), or equivalent applied experience in quantum or cryogenic hardware programs
  • Demonstrated experience managing large-scale, interdisciplinary hardware technology projects from concept to delivery, including system integration, cross-functional team leadership, and coordination across multiple teams
  • Deep knowledge of hardware product development lifecycle, with demonstrated ability to oversee complex programs involving R&D and new technology introduction
  • Proficiency in program management methodologies, including Agile, Azure DevOps, or similar frameworks
  • Proven data-driven decision making, issue tracking, schedule management, and reporting skills
  • Demonstrated ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly and appropriately at all organization levels, including executive audiences and non-technical stakeholders, and to work effectively in a highly collaborative, fast-paced, and ambiguous environment
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role
  • Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations
  • Ability to apply AI to accelerate engineering and lab workflows
  • Ability to evaluate agentic solutions with measurable metrics and human in the loop safeguards following Microsoft Responsible AI requirements for generative AI

Nice to have

  • Experience managing highly complex hardware product portfolios involving deep tech or “first-of-a-kind” technology (e.g., quantum systems, ASICs, FPGA, advanced chip packaging, cryoelectronic, or high-reliability hardware)
  • Direct experience with quantum device development, quantum error correction, or quantum measurement/control hardware
  • Demonstrated ability to lead multiple R&D teams to perform in a high paced product development environment in a matrixed organization
  • Experience managing technology transfer from R&D to scaled engineering and manufacturing, including developing and auditing hardware quality systems and test protocols
  • Demonstrated success leading external research, university, government, or consortia partnerships (e.g., with DARPA, NIST, or top-tier university labs) in advanced hardware or scientific domains

  • Bachelors or above in Engineering, Operations management or related discipline
  • Significant experience in manufacturing, production operations, hardware development, supply chain, or related technical environments
  • Demonstrated experience leading complex cross-functional programs involving multiple engineering and operational stakeholders
  • Communication and stakeholder management skills — with a proven ability to drive alignment across multiple teams without direct authority
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-evolving environments where you'll need to build systems and processes alongside the people using them
  • Significant experience in semiconductor manufacturing, fabrication operations, hardware production, or other complex technical manufacturing environments, ideally including R&D, pilot-line, or pre-production settings where processes are still maturing
  • Track record of managing end-to-end production flow across multiple process areas (e.g., fabrication, packaging, test)
  • Experience in small-scale or pilot-line environments transitioning toward low-volume manufacturing — including navigating the tension between development and production priorities
  • Analytical skills with experience using production data to drive decisions (yield analysis, cycle time tracking, statistical process control (SPC))
  • Experience defining and implementing stage-gate or manufacturing readiness review frameworks
Job Responsibility
Job Responsibility
  • Own the full lot lifecycle from wafer-in to data-out: coordinate across fabrication, packaging, and cryogenic loading for measurement to ensure seamless handoffs and unbroken visibility at every stage
  • Own the master production schedule and drive daily execution with a relentless focus on throughput and quality — managing expedites, resolving blockers, and keeping stakeholders informed on status, risks, and recovery plans
  • Drive alignment on fab capacity allocation across competing priorities: balance resources across production delivery, process development, and technology R&D — ensuring plans are grounded in the program roadmap and scaling priorities
  • Plan and schedule maintenance windows to minimize production impact
  • Own production-level KPIs and dashboards — throughput, cycle time, equipment uptime, and schedule adherence — ensuring they are accurate, accessible, and actionable
  • Partner with quality/yield engineering and process integration teams to sharpen focus on the KPIs that truly matter — challenging assumptions, connecting data to outcomes, and ensuring yield improvements translate into real production impact
  • Partner with process engineering and integration teams to coordinate tech transfers, split-lot management, and wafer disposition — ensuring each transfer follows a clear stage-gate framework with a defined threshold for 'production-ready'
