TL;DR · Senior Principal Power and Signal Integrity Engineer

The Senior/Principal Power and Signal Integrity Engineer joins the Microsoft Quantum team to define the electrical architecture of next-generation Cryo-CMOS quantum control systems. This role focuses on designing and analyzing power delivery, signal integrity, and electrical isolation across silicon, package, and board-level implementations. The engineer will build robust power delivery networks, develop isolation strategies for large-scale digital switching circuitry near sensitive qubit control signals, and lead the mitigation of electromagnetic coupling and crosstalk. Key technical requirements include expertise in mixed-signal integration, silicon-package-board co-design, and advanced packaging like 2.5D or 3D integration. Candidates will utilize tools such as Synopsys RaptorX, Ansys HFSS, SIwave, Cadence Clarity, PowerSI, Keysight ADS, Spectre, and HSPICE to correlate simulation results with laboratory measurements while solving complex mixed-signal problems in the quantum computing hardware domain.

What you'll do

  • Define power integrity and signal integrity strategies for next-generation Cryo-CMOS quantum control systems.
  • Manage electrical integrity across silicon, package, PCB, and system-level implementations.
  • Architect and optimize power delivery networks from on-chip grids to board-level distribution.
  • Develop isolation strategies to separate digital switching noise from sensitive analog and RF signals.
  • Analyze and mitigate electromagnetic coupling, crosstalk, and mixed-signal interference mechanisms.
  • Lead silicon-package-board co-design activities with ASIC, package, and quantum hardware teams.
  • Establish design methodologies, validation plans, and signoff criteria for power and signal integrity.
  • Correlate simulation results with laboratory measurements to guide critical architecture decisions.

What we're looking for

  • A Doctorate in Physics or Engineering with 1+ years of experience, a Master's with 4+ years, or a Bachelor's with 6+ years is required.
  • Candidates must be able to pass Microsoft Cloud Background Checks and meet export control requirements (ITAR/EAR).
  • Ability to provide proof of citizenship or U.S. permanent residency for access to export-controlled information.
  • Ability to leverage AI tools for performance modeling, research gathering, and task automation in an AI-first environment.
  • Experience with power integrity and signal integrity for complex mixed-signal systems (preferred).
  • Experience designing power delivery networks across ASICs, semiconductor packages, and PCBs (preferred).
  • Experience using industry-standard simulation tools like Synopsys RaptorX, Ansys HFSS, or Cadence Clarity (preferred).
  • Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years.
