The posting

Overview

At Microsoft Quantum, we aim to empower science and scientists to solve the world’s 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 humankind’s currently unsolvable problems. For more information about our team, visit https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/quantum.

We are seeking a Senior Quantum Nanofabrication Engineer to join the Microsoft Quantum team at our West Lafayette, Indiana facility. This role will provide senior-level, hands-on technical expertise in semiconductor and quantum-device nanofabrication. The successful candidate will develop, optimize, qualify, and integrate critical fabrication processes supporting advanced quantum devices while working closely with materials growth, device design, characterization, and engineering teams.

We are looking for an experienced engineer who can independently take ownership of technically challenging fabrication processes and process modules. The candidate should be comfortable identifying fabrication problems, designing and executing experiments, analyzing results, troubleshooting fab process and equipment issues, and developing robust processes that can be reliably integrated into larger device fabrication flows.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.

Responsibilities

  • Build quantum devices by drawing on expertise of a large range of nano-fabrication techniques and work with other technical owners to understand the impact of process conditions on device performance.
  • Conduct experiments to create and improve fabrication processes and use quantitative characterization and metrology to establish process windows, identify failure mechanisms, and improve process repeatability and yield.
  • Partner closely with device physicists, materials scientists, growth engineers, characterization teams, and other fabrication engineers to identify factors that impact quantum devices and translate device requirements into practical fabrication processes.
  • Help develop tools needed for improving fabrication by identifying process and equipment capability gaps and assisting with equipment upgrades and process improvements for addressing those gaps.
  • Actively participate in the collection of fabrication and characterization data to maintain and improve processes and to identify opportunities for improved device performance, reliability, repeatability, and yield.
  • Other
  • Embody our culture and values

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experienceOR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience 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:
  • Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
  • Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) or Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide either proof of their country of citizenship or proof of their U.S. permanent residency or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the 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.
  • Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency (e.g., performance modeling and analysis, research gathering, day to day task automation).
  • Apply AI to accelerate engineering and lab workflows. Design and build AI agents/copilots that assist with experiment setup, log triage, measurement report generation, protocol templating, and knowledge retrieval (e.g., instrument manuals, design docs)

Preferred Qualifications

  • Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 3+ years technical engineering experienceOR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field AND 8+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience of independently developing semiconductor, superconducting, MEMS, photonic, or other advanced micro- or nanofabrication processes.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience with electron-beam lithography or advanced optical lithography.
  • 8+ years of hands-on experience with thin-film deposition techniques such as atomic layer deposition, e-beam evaporation, sputtering, or chemical vapor deposition.
  • Experience developing plasma etch processes - ion-mill, reactive ion etch, and/or atomic layer etch - for sensitive nanoscale devices.
  • Experience with III-V semiconductor processing and gate dielectric depositions on III-Vs.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
