Job Description:

Microsoft's mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. 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 (AI), and quantum information technology. We are seeking a Senior Quantum Engineer – System Characterization to characterize and validate cryogenic control hardware used in our quantum computing systems. This role focuses on system‑level performance characterization, bridging cryogenic electronics and quantum device measurements. Working within the cryogenic complementary metal‑oxide semiconductor (cryo‑CMOS) team, you will have the opportunity to make a significant impact on a revolutionary technology. We are looking for an experimentalist with substantial experience measuring semiconductor qubit and/or quantum dot devices with a strong passion for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Job Responsibility:

  • Characterize the performance of integrated cryogenic ASIC‑based control systems interfacing with quantum devices
  • Design, execute, and analyze measurement campaigns to evaluate cryogenic control hardware and system behavior
  • Develop and refine measurement techniques to assess device‑level and system‑level performance
  • Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary partners—including ASIC designers, electrical engineers, qubit measurement engineers, and theorists—to inform and optimize system design
  • Analyze, document, and communicate characterization results, limitations, and findings to hardware and system development teams
  • Verify that the integrated cryogenic control system meets defined performance requirements and specifications
  • Embody our Culture and Values

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • OR Master’s Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
  • OR equivalent experience
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements
  • Ability to work in an “AI-first” environment using modern AI tools
  • Ability to design and build AI agents/copilots that assist with experiment setup, log triage, measurement report generation, protocol templating, and knowledge retrieval

Nice to have:

  • Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field
  • 6+ years of experience with: Low‑noise electronic measurements
  • Cryogenic techniques
  • Electrical transport characterization
  • Radio frequency (RF) or microwave measurement techniques
  • Data acquisition and programming in a high‑level language
  • 4+ years of experience with quantum measurement of semiconductor qubit or quantum dot devices
  • Experience with analog electronic circuit design
  • Experience with technical report writing and documentation
  • Experience with cross‑team collaboration and/or mentoring
