Job Description
Microsoft Quantum has assembled a talented and diverse international team to create the world’s first scalable quantum computing system. Our full-stack approach involves exciting innovations from physics on the quantum plane to providing global quantum services. With new developments happening at every part of the stack, it is more important than ever to characterize and validate how the individual components come together to form an integrated system. This role offers the opportunity to work at the forefront of physics and engineering, collaborating with a broad range of specialists from readout, control, software, and many other disciplines. Our Systems Integration team is seeking a Quantum Data Performance Engineer with a passion for interdisciplinary collaboration to help drive the development, validation, and optimization of the world’s first topological quantum computer by closely monitoring and analyzing the performance of each subsystem, identifying key risks, and informing strategic decisions for the program. The Data Performance Engineer will be responsible for developing and maintaining a comprehensive view of the performance, reliability, and reproducibility of each subsystem across our quantum computing fleet. This includes designing, implementing, and optimizing data pipelines to continuously monitor the most critical metrics, as well as performing in-depth statistical analysis to pinpoint trends, anomalies, and emerging risks. Working closely across all pillars, the engineer will synthesize system-level insights and communicate findings to inform technical strategy and prioritize improvements. The ideal candidate will bring a strong background in physics, electrical engineering, or a related discipline, a deep passion for data analytics, and a collaborative mindset for tackling complex interdisciplinary challenges. 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.
