Key Responsibilities:
๐ฏ Operational Optimization: Formulate and solve constraint-based optimization problems for infrastructure planning and piloting. This includes modeling optimal resource allocation (teams, technical assets, budgets) while respecting complex operational constraints.
๐๏ธ Scheduling & Maintenance: Develop optimal maintenance plans to efficiently sequence and coordinate field teams, taking into account availability, prioritization, and business-specific rules.
๐ Routing & Planning: Solve complex planning and routing challenges, including Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) variants and Vehicle Routing Problems (VRP).
๐งฎ Algorithm Implementation: Implement combinatorial and continuous optimization methods to deliver robust, operationally viable solutions.
๐ค Machine Learning Integration: Design and implement ML and Deep Learning models adapted to industrial constraints, collaborating closely with CV/ML engineers to deploy solutions into production pipelines.
๐ก Innovation: Participate in technology watch, proposing innovative approaches and evaluating their feasibility at the frontier of research and industrial application.
Required Qualifications & Skills:
๐ Education & experience : Masterโs degree (M2 or equivalent) in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Data Science, or a related field. 2 to 3 years of professional experience in Data Science, Machine Learning, or Optimization.
๐งฉ Operations Research: Strong command of constraint optimization concepts, combinatorial optimization, and OR problems (TSP, VRP, resource allocation). Proficiency with optimization tools/libraries is highly appreciated (e.g., OR-Tools, Pyomo, CVXPY).
๐ง Machine Learning: Good understanding of Machine Learning and Deep Learning models. Experience with PyTorch (or equivalent), including cloud/distributed environments, is a strong plus.
๐ Python Proficiency: Excellent mastery of Python and its scientific ecosystem (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Scikit-learn).
๐ง System & Version Control: Comfort with Linux/Unix environments and daily use of Git.
๐บ๏ธ Geospatial Data: Knowledge of GIS concepts and tools (GDAL, QGIS, GeoPandas, Rasterio) is a definite asset.
๐ฃ๏ธ Language: Professional proficiency in English and French (written and oral).
โจ Soft Skills: Rigorous analytical mindset, ability to model complex problems, autonomy, curiosity, and a strong team spirit.
