As a Senior Quantum Materials MBE Engineer, you will join an interdisciplinary R&D team at Microsoft Quantum, focusing on developing and optimizing molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth processes for high-quality quantum materials. Your daily tasks include executing experiments to control interfaces, composition, strain, and defect density in semiconductor–superconductor heterostructures, while also contributing to the feedback loop between material properties and device performance through data-driven experimentation. You will operate and maintain UHV MBE systems and in-situ diagnostics, apply AI/ML tools for experiment planning and optimization, and collaborate closely with nanofabrication, characterization, theory, and device teams. Required skills include hands-on experience with MBE or related thin-film growth techniques, semiconductor materials, and scientific programming tools like Python.
