Senior Software Engineer (Measurement and Bring-up)

Microsoft Quantum has assembled a talented and diverse international team to create the world’s first scalable quantum computing system. The research effort includes a diverse staff of theoretical and experimental physicists, hardware designers and software engineers around the world collaborating in a very fast-paced environment, where good communication and good documentation are key to the success of the program. This role sits on the software team building the control, measurement, and bring-up stack for Microsoft’s topological qubit chips and the broader quantum machine we are engineering. As a Senior Software Engineer (Measurement and Bring-up), you will partner closely with the Measurement team to implement the test, characterization, calibration, and tuning routines in software—shaping how the software is structured and how the instruments rack is orchestrated to deliver robust, fast, and correct execution in the lab. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to Microsoft’s Quantum Program, dedicated to building a scalable quantum computer to tackle humanity’s most complex challenges. You’ll help make the quantum machine operable as it scales by turning characterization and bring-up needs into dependable software—connecting sophisticated instrumentation to clear, repeatable workflows that accelerate learning cycles in the lab, as well as into robust qubit chip bring-up software for the quantum machine. 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.
