Quantum Solutions Engineer - H/F

We are looking for a Mid-SeniorApplication Engineer in Quantum Optimizationwith background inOperations Researchand/or inQuantum Computingto strengthen our team.

What you'll do

• Execute quantum optimization-related client projectsfrom early technical discussions and problem framing to project delivery.
• Support the Commercial teamon the execution offeasibility studiesand on the definition the state of work for future client projects
• Translate real-world problems into optimization formulationsand evaluatesolution strategiesusing 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.
• Develop and scale quantum optimization solutions for clients' use caseson Pasqal quantum processors. Also, improve and extend existing use cases;
• Design and run benchmarking and feasibility studies,including assessing the limitations of classical approaches and identifying realistic pathways toward quantum utility.
• Develop solutions and experiment pipelines in close collaboration with the software engineering team, using emulation backends locally and on HPC when relevant.
• Work hardware-aware: investigate realistic implementations on neutral-atom hardware (mainly using analog paradigms)
• Define blueprints of quantum utility for clients' use-casesand collaborate closely with R&D hardware teams to bring them to fruition.
• 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.
• Support team-wide execution and knowledge sharing,including helping on code/components outside your direct ownership when needed and contributing to ongoing scientific watch activities.
