- Build and steward top assembly and BOM, managing part numbering, configurations, ECO/ECR workflows, and PDM/PLM tools.
- Lead CryoME design reviews with standard packages including CAD, drawings, specifications, materials, coatings, finishes, IQC, cryogenic screening, manufacturing/assembly flows, risks, and schedules.
- Translate system requirements into mechanical specifications for thermal anchoring, heat-load budgets, CTE mismatch management, vacuum sealing, vibration isolation, RF/DC cable management, and integration across temperature stages.
- Create SOPs with detailed work instructions for installation, data recording, and communication of engineering intent.
- Drive DFM/DFX with suppliers by generating clear build packages, supporting fabrication, dispositioning nonconformances with data-driven assessments, and capturing as-built changes.
- Embody Microsoft's Culture and Values.
Requirements
- Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ year(s) experience in industry or R&D; OR Master's Degree AND 4+ years experience; OR Bachelor's Degree AND 6+ years experience; OR equivalent experience.
- Ability to meet Microsoft, customer, and/or government security screening requirements.
- Microsoft Cloud Background Check required.
- Citizenship & Citizenship Verification required due to export control regulations.
Desired Qualifications
- Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experience; OR Master's Degree AND 6+ years experience; OR Bachelor's Degree AND 8+ years experience; OR equivalent experience.
- CAD skills (Creo preferred): proven record creating complete 3D models from scratch and releasing production-grade drawings.
- Deep experience in mechanical design skills – Proficiency driving complex designs involving mechanisms, multipart assemblies, COTS and custom component trade studies, and DFM/DFA practices.
- PDM/PLM proficiency for configuration control and BOM accuracy (Windchill, OnePDM or similar).
- Design review leadership and clear documentation practices.
- Leadership and mentoring – Experience leading complex mechanical design efforts, assigning work, providing technical guidance, and maintaining accountability.
- 5+ year of experience integrating hardware inside dilution refrigerators across temperature stages, including mK through 300K, thermal modeling or anchoring, and harnessing for RF or DC lines.
- 5+ year of experience using FEA or thermal simulation tools such as ANSYS Mechanical or COMSOL to guide design choices or validate the integrity of designs.
- 5+ year of hands-on cryogenic, vacuum, or UHV hardware experience, including materials, coatings, finishes, vacuum seals, thermal interfaces, wiring fixtures, or low-outgassing practices.
- 5+ year of experience partnering with suppliers or manufacturing teams to support precision machining, sheet metal, special processes, cleaning, vacuum bakeouts, cryogenic-compatible finishes, or first-article builds.
- 5+ years of experience operating within regulated or high-security lab environments and collaborating across distributed teams or sites.
- Experience contributing to inclusive, cross-disciplinary engineering teams by communicating decisions clearly, inviting diverse perspectives, and creating a supportive environment.
- 5+ Years Documenting, dispositioning and providing corrective action for hardware non-conformances.
- Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency.
- Ability to work in an "AI-first" environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through hardware development.
