Job description
Microsoft Quantum is dedicated to solving the world’s intractable problems and forever 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. For more information about our team, visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum.
Are you enthusiastic about mesoscopic device physics, electronics, electrical transport measurements, and computer programming? Do you want to be part of the next revolution in computing? Microsoft is looking for you! Join our team to build a quantum computer based on topologically protected qubits.
Responsibilities
We are seeking an experimental condensed matter physicist, applied physicist, materials scientist, or electrical engineer with a background in cryogenics and electrical transport in mesoscopic semiconductor devices. A successful candidate:
- Demonstrates deep expertise in physics, experimentation methods, and measurement techniques. Develops hypotheses, designs experiments and modifies future experiments based on results. Conducts experimentation. Develops equipment designs needed for experimentation. Directs experimentation, data collection, statistical analysis, and reporting of results. Identifies and adapts existing methods to integrate into experiments.
- Guides cross-team collaboration across Quantum for efficient use of company expertise, including hardware, software, and algorithms. Works across teams and ensures contact with others as needed. Documents work and makes results available internally and externally to the team to more easily leverage work across teams.
- Partners to create methods for control development and implementation. Creates ways to measure characteristics and properties. Develops cryogenic techniques/instruments.
- Contributes to and creates methods of measuring devices to gauge characteristics and properties. Performs quantum measurement (e.g., code, packaging, wire bonding, installing in cryo stack). Leverages expertise in instrumentation involved (e.g., measurement techniques, wiring and filtering strategies for low temperature application).
Other
- Embody our culture and values
