Job Opportunity: Deep Learning for Optimization

At ORTEC, we tackle thousands of optimization problems daily. We seek to leverage patterns in problem instances to inform good solutions, learned from previously optimized solutions.

The Challenge

We aim to scale up deep learning techniques to larger, more realistic problem instances, such as real-world routing problems with thousands of customers. To achieve this, you will develop efficient deep learning training pipelines that can run advanced neural network architectures on GPU.

Requirements

  • You are a master's student in artificial intelligence or a related field.
  • You have practical experience with training deep learning models on hardware accelerators using frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • You are comfortable in Python and familiar with concepts such as vectorized programming, threading, etc.
  • Experience with graph neural networks/transformers 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, 32-40 hours a week.

What We Offer

  • Entrance to a passionate powerhouse in applied mathematics, where we drive to use our problem-solving skills to improve our planet.
  • Inclusion in a company founded by graduate students in 1981, which still fosters its students by:
  • Excellent supervision during your graduation project.
  • Good internship allowance, laptop, and other office facilities.
  • An open, kind, and fun culture.
  • Young ORTEC, an association that organizes activities for juniors, mediors, and graduate students at ORTEC.

The Next Steps

Did we pique your interest? Upload your CV, motivation letter, and grade lists (BSc and MSc in one PDF if applicable). The recruitment process will consist of two online assessments, a first interview, and a second interview with a case.

What to Expect

We will help you thrive in your field of expertise. We offer 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. The atmosphere is open, informal, cooperative, and positive.
