# Senior Quantum Researcher (Optimization)

Description As a Senior Quantum Researcher focusing on optimization, you will develop cutting edge quantum-classical hybrid algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems under hardware noise. You will pushing the edge of quantum optimization algorithms and work closely with strategic customers to adapt them to their applications. The role combines algorithm development with hands-on computational research: designing and running experiments, analyzing results, and using those findings to guide further development. You will develop new methods and improve existing ones, taking into account application requirements, classical benchmarks, noise characteristics, and the constraints of real quantum hardware. Responsibilities Develop and improve quantum and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Adapt and optimize Qedma’s error-reduction methods for optimization algorithms, applications, and hardware settings. Design and conduct computational experiments using classical simulations and real quantum hardware to evaluate algorithm performance and guide research. Analyze experimental results, assess their statistical significance, and identify opportuniti
