Role Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Operations Research (OR) and Optimization Engineer to design and develop an intelligent crew rostering optimizer for rail operations. The role involves applying advanced optimization techniques—including metaheuristics and mathematical programming—to generate efficient, compliant, and cost-optimized crew schedules. The candidate will also develop production-grade Python code for the optimizer and expose it via APIs for integration with operational systems.
This role combines algorithm design, applied optimization, and production software development.

More focused on the airline domain expertise

Key Responsibilities
Optimization Model Design & Development
Design and implement optimization models for rail crew rostering, considering operational, regulatory, and contractual constraints.
Apply appropriate optimization techniques such as:




Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP)
Constraint Programming (CP)
Metaheuristics (Genetic Algorithm, Simulated Annealing, Tabu Search, Large Neighborhood Search, etc.)
Hybrid OR + metaheuristic approaches for large-scale optimization
Model constraints including:
Duty time limits, rest rules, and labor regulations
Crew qualifications, route familiarity, and skill requirements
Shift continuity, fairness, and crew preferences
Coverage requirements and operational robustness
Develop objective functions to optimize for cost, utilization, fairness, robustness, and operational efficiency.
Algorithm Engineering & Performance Optimization
Design scalable and effective optimization algorithms capable of handling real-world rail network scale.
Implement solution heuristics and decomposition strategies to improve performance.
Perform benchmarking, tuning, and performance optimization.
