Role overview
- Conduct a thorough review of relevant academic methods (e.g., sophisticated metaheuristics, large neighborhood search, advanced restart strategies) that can effectively deal with complex local optima in scheduling
- Select one or more promising techniques, implement them as a proof-of-concept within our existing optimizer environment and test their performance on real-world datasets
- Analyze the current optimizer behavior, identify specific scenarios leading to local optima, and develop innovative methods to address these limitation
- Document your research and results, providing clear, evidence-based recommendations for potential integration into the core system
- Collaborate closely with the R&D team and contribute to discussions on optimization improvements and industrial applications
What we're looking for
- Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Operations Research, Computer Science, Econometrics, (Applied) Mathematics, or a related field
- A strong foundation in optimization theory, algorithms, operations research, and data structures with a strong interest in scheduling
- Proficiency in at least one (object-oriented) programming language (C++, Java, or Python preferred)
- Strong communication skills in English
- Analytical mindset and proactive approach to problem-solving
