Job Summary
At Microsoft Quantum we aim to empower science and scientists to solve the worlds biggest problems by realizing advanced computing platforms at the intersection of high-performance computing artificial intelligence and quantum information technology. Microsoft Quantum will change the world of computing and help solve some of humankinds currently unsolvable problems. For more information about our team visit Quantum Engineer Artificial Intelligence and Devices will develop scalable automation artificial intelligence machine-learning and data-analysis solutions for quantum-device research. This role requires strong engineering and analytical skills experience applying modern artificial intelligence methods to complex scientific or engineering data and an interest in collaborating with quantum researchers. Experience in mesoscopic or topological physics is valuable but not required.
Microsofts mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We come together with a growth mindset innovate to empower others and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect integrity and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
Responsibilities
Develop and improve automation pipelines for quantum-device data analysis and experiments.
Develop and apply modern artificial intelligence (AI) and machine-learning methods to quantum-device characterization tuning and analysis of complex experimental data.
Partner with researchers and engineers to integrate machine learning models into simulation and control environments.
Contribute to scalable and reproducible experimental analysis workflows taking increasing ownership as projects mature.
Document and present technical solutions to internal and external stakeholders.
Embody our Culture and Values.
Qualifications
Required / Minimum Qualifications:
- Doctorate in Physics Engineering or related field AND 1 year(s) experience in industry or in a research and development environment could include completion of a post doctoral research position
- OR Masters Degree in Physics Engineering or related field AND 4 years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
- OR Bachelors Degree in Physics Engineering or related field AND 6 years experience in industry or in a research and development environment
- OR equivalent experience.
Other Requirements:
- Ability to meet Microsoft customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
