Job Description:

Microsoft Quantum team is dedicated to developing the first scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer and is leading progress in areas ranging from quantum hardware and error correction to comprehensive integration with Azure. Our team comprises an accomplished and diverse international team focused on constructing a scalable quantum computing system. Our full-stack strategy encompasses breakthrough developments, spanning the physics of quantum devices to scalable readout and control infrastructures powered by cryo-electronics. The Microsoft Quantum program aims to transform the future of computing and tackle challenges that are currently beyond reach. We are entering a pivotal phase of accelerated growth in quantum computing, and this position presents a unique opportunity to contribute meaningfully to transformative technology.

Job Responsibility:

Program Management: Lead all phases of quantum hardware projects, from concept to delivery, working closely with architects, scientists, and engineers for success. Create concise, data-driven updates on program status, risks, dependencies, and impact for stakeholders and senior executives.
Planning & Roadmapping: Coordinate with leadership and engineering teams to build and maintain clear development roadmaps, align milestones, manage resources, and support long-term goals. Guide Agile processes, encourage transparency, and remove obstacles to meet critical deadlines.
Team Coordination: Ensure effective collaboration across device physics, cryoelectronic, materials science, manufacturing, supply chain, integration, and cloud hardware operations for scalable solutions.
Customer Feedback: Use input from internal and pilot customers to improve hardware and processes. This includes potential customers from US Government.
Risk Mitigation: Identify and reduce risks in technology, scheduling, and operations, applying continuous improvement throughout.
Supplier Relations: Manage external partnerships, enforce quality and safety standards, and drive cross-company compliance.
Culture & Mentorship: Foster respect, collaboration, integrity, inclusivity, and continuous learning within the team.
Other: Embody our Culture and Values.

Requirements:

Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience in engineering, physics or a related STEM field, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development OR equivalent experience.
3+ years of experience managing large-scale, interdisciplinary hardware technology projects from concept to delivery, including system integration, cross-functional team leadership, and coordination across multiple teams.
Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role.
Ability to work in an “AI-first” environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through both hardware and software development.
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:

Bachelor’s degree AND 12+ years’ experience in engineering, product/technical program management, data analysis, or product development (or equivalent experience).
OR Master’s degree AND 10+ years in a relevant field (e.g., quantum information, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, hardware systems), or equivalent applied experience in quantum or cryogenic hardware programs.
OR Doctorate AND 6+ years in a relevant field (e.g., quantum information, physics, materials science, electrical engineering, hardware systems), or equivalent applied experience in quantum or cryogenic hardware programs.
10+ years of experience owning and managing multi-year, highly complex hardware product portfolios involving deep-tech or first-of-a-kind technologies (e.g., quantum systems, ASICs, photonics, advanced chip packaging, cryoelectronics, or other high-reliability hardware).
Experience with hands-on quantum hardware R&D, including quantum device development, quantum error correction, and quantum measurement/control hardware.
Experience with leading external research partnerships with universities, government agencies, and consortia (e.g., DARPA, NIST, top academic labs) in advanced hardware/scientific domains.
Experience with technology transfer from R&D into scaled engineering and manufacturing, including new-technology introduction, hardware quality systems, and development/auditing of test and validation protocols.
Experience operating in fast-paced, matrixed product development environments, using program management methods and tools (e.g., Agile, Azure DevOps, or similar) for data-driven execution, issue/risk tracking, schedule management, and executive-ready reporting and communication.
