Senior Quantum Engineer - Readout - Microsoft

Microsoft Quantum is building a topological measurement-based quantum computer to unlock a completely new landscape of computing possibilities. In this measurement-based architecture, qubit readout is especially vital. Come join the multidisciplinary team building a scalable readout system for topological quantum computing!

As a Senior Quantum Engineer you will design and test the readout system for topological qubits at the component, subsystem and system levels. This opportunity will allow you to grow as a systems engineer, hone expertise in quantum measurement, and gain experience working as part of fast-paced and interdisciplinary-teams.

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

• Design and test scalable readout circuitry for topological qubits.
• Interface across teams to codesign the readout system with evolving qubit designs and control requirements, while making efficient use of company expertise.
• Document work, analyze, interpret and present measurement results, and participate in opportunities to present to customers and network with peers.
• Use engineering best practices to build tools and processes necessary to enable progress in quantum research. You’ll incorporate tips and techniques and help develop tools for users to aid in work internally and externally.
• Uphold safety standards and practices including compliance with policies, adherence to safety in a variety of work environments, and escalating issues with appropriate urgency. You may assist in defining and implementing safety protocols.
• Embody our Culture and Values
