Microsoft Overview We  are advancing technological innovation through quantum computing, which has the potential to reshape how complex problems are addressed in science, medicine, materials research, and industry. At Microsoft Quantum, we aim to empower scientists to solve some of the world's biggest problems by developing advanced computing platforms at the intersection of high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, and quantum information technology.

The Microsoft Quantum team is dedicated to developing the first scalable, fault-tolerant quantum computer. Our work spans quantum hardware, error correction, and integration with Azure. Our accomplished, diverse international team is focused on building a scalable quantum computing system. Our full-stack strategy encompasses breakthroughs in quantum device physics, scalable readout, and control infrastructure powered by cryoelectronics. As quantum computing enters a pivotal phase of accelerated growth, this position offers an opportunity to contribute to a transformative technology.

Microsoft is seeking a Quantum Technical Program Manager (TPM), at the Senior to Principal level, to lead the end-to-end delivery of next-generation quantum hardware systems. You will drive cross-functional execution across research, engineering, and external partners to develop scalable, production-ready quantum solutions. Working closely with subsystem research and development leaders in areas such as control, packaging, and test and measurement, you will align roadmaps, manage risks, and deliver critical milestones.

This high-impact leadership role calls for deep technical expertise, strong program management skills, and a customer-focused mindset.

You will collaborate with physicists, quantum theorists, experimentalists, research and systems engineers, technical program managers, supply chain experts, cloud architects, and external partners to accelerate the scale-up of topological qubits and quantum systems. If you thrive on complex program challenges, can navigate ambiguity, and are passionate about foundational technologies, we invite you to help shape the future of quantum computing.

At Microsoft, our mission—to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more—guides how we partner with customers to deliver trusted, impactful solutions. With a growth mindset culture, we innovate responsibly and measure success by shared progress—people, teams, and customers. Join us to do meaningful work that changes the world and helps shape what’s next for everyone.
