Job Description:

At ORTEC, we are seeking a skilled expert to work on a challenging project related to vehicle routing optimization. The ideal candidate will have experience with optimization algorithms and be proficient in Python.

Your Challenge:

You will build on PyVRP, an open-source implementation of a hybrid genetic search algorithm for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). Your task will be to evaluate PyVRP on large real-world problem instances and push its limits 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:

  • A chance to work on a challenging project that can make a significant impact on the field of vehicle routing optimization.
  • Opportunities to learn and grow as a professional, with excellent supervision during your graduation project.
  • A competitive salary of €25,000 - €30,000 per year, depending on your qualifications and experience.
  • A flat organizational structure that keeps communication lines short and a positive, cooperative atmosphere.
