We are looking for a Application Engineer in Quantum Optimization with a strong background in Operations Research and/or in Quantum Computing to strengthen our team.
Lead quantum optimization-related client projects from early technical discussions and problem framing to project delivery and handover.
Support the Commercial team on the execution of feasibility studies and on the definition the state of work for future client projects
Translate real-world problems into optimization formulations and evaluate solution strategies using a mix of analytical reasoning and numerical experimentation.
Investigate and synthesize the state of the art (academic and industrial literature) to identify relevant directions, assess feasibility, and propose impactful research paths.
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders (Engineering, R&D, academic and industrial partners, and clients) throughout all phases of projects, ensuring alignment on technical scope, success criteria, and deliverables.
