Senior Quantum Device Yield Engineer

Microsoft Quantum is dedicated to solving the world’s intractable problems and altering our economic, industrial, academic, and societal landscape. In just hours or days, a quantum computer can solve complex problems that would otherwise take today’s computers billions of years! This has massive implications for research in healthcare, energy, environmental systems, smart materials, and more. Most importantly, Microsoft brings the only scalable quantum system to the broadest set of customers. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Hardware Engineer with a focus on device yield to join our team. This role is central to advancing our quantum hardware roadmap and requires deep expertise in superconductor and semiconductor physics, device fabrication, and crystal chemistry. The successful candidate will lead efforts in designing robust test structures, and evaluating device performance across cryogenic and room temperatures. You will apply advanced statistical analysis and data mining techniques to extract insights from electrical tests and yield data, coordinate low yield components submissions for failure analysis investigations, collaborate across hardware and software teams to improve manufacturability, and contribute to scalable quantum device production. Your work will directly inform design decisions, fabrication strategies, and future development efforts, helping shape the future of quantum computing.
