I korthet

Microsoft Quantum is seeking a Principal Researcher in Quantum Engineering for their Lyngby, Denmark laboratory to build advanced quantum computing platforms. This role involves technical ownership of major subsystems, defining system strategy, making architectural decisions, and mentoring scientists and engineers to advance quantum devices, control systems, and architectures.

Ansvarsområden

  • Own the technical strategy, architecture, and design of a major subsystem or capability within a quantum hardware program, evaluating trade-offs, risks, and opportunities using scientific and engineering evidence.
  • Design and drive critical experiments that reduce uncertainty, enable informed technical decisions, and uphold high standards for data quality, validation, calibration, and reproducibility.
  • Translate scientific insight into practical system requirements, designs, performance targets, and execution plans.
  • Partner across theory, engineering, and software teams to connect models, simulations, measurements, controls, and implementation into an integrated system.
  • Work with external suppliers, technology partners, and research collaborators to advance program goals and mitigate technical risks.
  • Mentor scientists and engineers, communicate complex technical topics to senior leaders and external stakeholders, and contribute to technical excellence across the organization.
  • Embody our culture and values.

Krav

  • Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or a related field, OR Master’s Degree in Physics, Engineering, or a related field, OR Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Engineering, or a related field, OR equivalent experience.
  • Experience in leading or building complex quantum architecture.
  • Experience designing experiments and interpreting evidence for critical decisions.
  • Experience in quantitative systems reasoning across physical mechanisms and architecture.
  • Ability to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools to drive innovation and efficiency, including performance modeling and analysis, research gathering, and day-to-day task automation.
  • Ability to evaluate AI-assisted and agentic solutions using measurable outcomes and human-in-the-loop safeguards consistent with Microsoft Responsible AI requirements.
  • Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements.
  • Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
  • Provide proof of country of citizenship or proof of U.S. permanent residency or other protected status for export control compliance assessment.
  • Successful candidate’s citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable.

Önskade kvalifikationer

  • Experience leading the architecture, development, and validation of at least one complex experimental, quantum, semiconductor, photonic, or other advanced physical system.
  • Demonstrated deep expertise in at least one of the following: quantum hardware systems or device technologies; precision measurement or instrumentation; control, calibration, or characterization systems; advanced electronics, photonics, cryogenics, vacuum systems, radio frequency systems, materials, or integrated-system technologies; or reliability and error characterization.
  • Experience leading multidisciplinary technical work involving at least two of the following: theory, hardware engineering, software, modeling or simulation, and experimental validation.
  • Experience delivering at least one technical program with an external supplier, technology partner, industrial research group, or academic research organization, with demonstrated scientific, technical, or organizational impact.
