We are looking for a motivated and skilled AI Researcher to join our R&D team and help develop the core algorithms behind the companys voyage optimization engine. You will work with large datasets (e.g., AIS, weather forecasts, historical voyages) and design models that recommend optimal routes for different vessel types under operational and environmental constraints.
Key Responsibilities
* Research and develop Machine Learning models for:
* Maritime route prediction and optimization
* Fuel-efficient speed/path selection
* Forecasting vessel performance based on historical data
* Design and evaluate experiments using real-world shipping datasets
* Collaborate with backend engineers to integrate models into production systems
* Contribute to internal tools for simulation, benchmarking, and route evaluation
