Job Description

At ORTEC, we are seeking a talented researcher to work on a challenging project that involves improving the performance of our hybrid genetic search algorithm for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). Our algorithm has won the DIMACS 2022 challenge, and we are looking to take it to the next level by making its internal steps more intelligent.

Your Challenge

You will build on PyVRP, an open-source implementation of the hybrid genetic search algorithm for the VRPTW, and evaluate it on large real-world problem instances to maximize performance in a short amount of time. You will have the freedom to choose how to achieve this goal, from optimizing parameters to implementing new genetic algorithm concepts or using machine learning to guide internal decisions of the algorithm.

Requirements
  • You are a master student in computer science, operations research, or artificial intelligence.
  • You are comfortable with Python and have experience with optimization algorithms.
  • Experience with compiled languages like C++ and/or running computational jobs on (cloud) compute infrastructure is a plus.
  • You are currently living in the Netherlands and studying at a Dutch University.
  • You communicate fluently in English, verbally and in writing.
  • You are available for 6 months for 32-40 hours a week.
What We Offer
  • Entrance to the most passionate powerhouse in applied mathematics.
  • Inclusion in a company founded by graduate students back in 1981, which today still fosters its students by providing excellent supervision, good internship allowance, laptop, and other office facilities.
  • An open, kind, and fun culture.
What to Expect

We will help you to thrive in your field of expertise by offering development programs, tailored to your individual needs and function requirements, including opportunities to attend courses and seminars. We operate in a flat organizational structure that keeps communication lines short, and the atmosphere is open, informal, cooperative, and positive.
