Microsoft Overview The  Cryomechanical team enables Microsoft Quantum’s hardware roadmap by designing, integrating, and sustaining cryogenic mechanical systems, packaging solutions, and laboratory infrastructure that support reliable experimentation, scalable system integration, and disciplined transition from research concepts to producible hardware. 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 . As a Senior Mechanical Designer – Cryomechanical Systems You will own products from cradle to grave, working hands on to oversee initial builds, incorporating customer feedback to make improvements and driving continuous improvements to equipment as the state-of-the-art advances.

You help shape requirements, create complete three-dimensional (3D) models from scratch, produce two-dimensional (2D) drawings, document Bill of Materials (BOM), create standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work hands on in installations to guide products through their entire lifecycle. Microsoft’s culture is grounded in a growth mindset, customer obsession, diversity and inclusion, one Microsoft collaboration, and making a difference through technology.

In this role, you will be expected to model these values by learning continuously, partnering across disciplines, communicating clearly, and creating an inclusive environment where rigorous engineering and shared accountability help the team deliver meaningful impact. Responsibilities Own end-to-end three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD) for cryogenic subassemblies and top-level mechanical integrations, including cold fingers, millikelvin (mK) and 4 kelvin (4 K) stages, radiation shields, vacuum interfaces, and cable or harness routing fixtures;

create fully detailed two-dimensional (2D) drawings with geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and tolerance stackups. Build and steward the top assembly and bill of materials (BOM) by managing part numbering, configurations, engineering change order (ECO) and engineering change request (ECR) workflows, and product data management/product lifecycle management (PDM/PLM) tool chains such as Solid Works, Windchill, and OnePDM. Lead Cryomechanical Engineering (CryoME) design reviews using standard review packages that include three-dimensional (3D) computer-aided design (CAD), two-dimensional (2D) drawings, critical-to-function specifications, materials, coatings, finishes, incoming quality control (IQC), cryogenic screening plans, manufacturing and assembly flows, risks, and schedules.

Translate system requirements into mechanical specifications for thermal anchoring, heat-load budgets, coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch management, vacuum sealing, vibration isolation, radio frequency (RF) and direct current (DC) cable management, and integration across temperature stages. Create SOPs by making detailed work instructions for installing parts, recording key data during installation and making sure that engineering intent is effectively communicated to engineers and technicians in the field.
