As a Senior Quantum Materials UHV Hardware Engineer at Microsoft Quantum, you will join a multidisciplinary team focused on advancing the materials and device pipeline for quantum technology. Your primary responsibilities include designing and building custom ultra-high vacuum (UHV) systems capable of achieving base pressures around 10⁻¹¹ Torr, integrating advanced components like pumps, gauges, and cryogenic stages, and ensuring thermal stability across a wide temperature range. You will collaborate closely with materials growth, nanofabrication, characterization, and device teams to adapt hardware platforms for evolving experimental needs, leveraging modern AI tools to enhance system monitoring and troubleshooting. The role requires expertise in 3D CAD design, hands-on experience with machining and metal fabrication, and proficiency in UHV systems and cryogenic hardware. This position demands a Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Physics, Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, along with a strong track record of building advanced materials deposition tools.
