Quantum Measurement Engineer

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.

Are you enthusiastic about mesoscopic device physics, electronics, qubits, and computer programming? Do you want to be part of the next revolution in computing? Microsoft is looking for you! We are looking for a Quantum Measurement Engineer to join our team to build a quantum computer based on topologically protected qubits.
