Optimization Consultant (m/f/d)

Role overview Translate customer planning and decision challenges into optimization models and practical solutions. You will shape projects from early problem definition through proof of concept and final reporting, while explaining what can be solved and what outcomes are realistic. The role also connects customer work with product development and research collaborations.

Responsibilities - Join customer discussions and lead the technical framing of optimization problems. - Prepare workshops by identifying the core problem, feasibility, and appropriate success measures. - Formulate models with clear objectives, sound constraints, and classical baselines. - Deliver proofs of concept and customer projects from initial analysis through results reporting. - Use the optimization platform and feed lessons from engagements back into its development. - Contribute to projects, including research collaborations with industry and academic partners.

Requirements - Experience translating real planning or decision problems into optimization models. - Ability to define and explain objective functions, constraints, and classical comparison methods. - Strong communication skills for customer meetings and workshops. - Ability to take ownership from problem analysis through delivery. - Based in Germany; Munich is preferred, with remote work possible.

Nice to have - Familiarity with quantum optimization sufficient to explain its relevance and limits to customers; deeper research expertise is available within the team.

Benefits and work setup - Full-time, mid- to senior-level position working on applied industry problems. - Flexible hours and location; remote work is possible, with occasional office visits encouraged for people near Munich. - Opportunity to work with quantum hardware and influence the optimization platform. - Small-team setting, regular team events, fitness membership, and a work-focused AI assistant subscription.
