[Hiring] Senior Operations Research Engineer @Avenga

Role Description

For our client, a global technology company focused on AI-driven industrial solutions, we are looking for a Senior Operations Research Engineer to join a team solving complex optimization problems at scale.

In this role, you will:

• Design mathematical models and optimization algorithms that improve planning, scheduling, resource allocation, and operational efficiency.
• Work closely with software engineers, data scientists, and machine learning specialists to turn complex business challenges into scalable optimization solutions suitable for production environments.
• Combine applied mathematics, optimization, simulation, and software engineering in a research-driven environment where ideas quickly become production systems.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Operations Research, Applied Mathematics, Industrial Engineering, Computer Science, or another STEM discipline.
• Strong knowledge of optimization techniques such as linear programming, mixed-integer programming, constraint programming, nonlinear optimization, or heuristic/metaheuristic algorithms.
• Experience translating business problems into mathematical optimization models.
• Strong Python programming skills.
• Experience building production-quality software rather than research prototypes only.
• Experience working with large datasets and developing efficient optimization workflows.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work independently in an R&D environment with evolving requirements.
• Good communication skills and fluent English.

Requirements

• Nice-to-have skills:
• Experience with machine learning or AI-assisted optimization.
• Experience with simulation, stochastic optimization, agent-based modeling, or Markov models.
• Knowledge of high-performance computing (HPC).
• Experience with cloud platforms and distributed computing.
• Experience with industrial optimization problems such as logistics, manufacturing, energy, robotics, or supply chain.

Benefits

• At Avenga, everyone matters. We provide equal opportunities in recruitment, career development, and leadership, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, religion, or any other characteristic.
• We are committed to fostering a work environment where our diverse community of employees, candidates, and business partners actively shapes our growth.
