Major Responsibilities

In recent times, the size of telecommunication networks has grown a lot and traffic needs to be routed efficiently to optimize resources, reliability and performance. In this context, the OR team has developed a lightweight solver for network devices (routers, switches).  

The main challenge of this internship is to make this solver user-friendly and efficient on Network problems. The main objectives of the internship are the following:

• Investigate the most important techniques for enhancing solver performances and stability,
• Implementation of new techniques and methods in the solver,
• Help for testing, debugging, and continuous integration,
• Benchmark on some realistic instances.

Duration: 6 months

Location: Boulogne-Billancourt, Paris Area

Required Level: Msc in Computer science / Applied mathematics / Operations Research

Technical Skills Requirements:

Candidates must be highly motivated and have the following skills:

• Good operation research and continuous and combinatorial optimization skills
• Good mathematical background
• Good programming skills in C++ (required)
• Knowledge of networking is a plus but not necessary (IP, routing protocols like OSPF)

Please send your applications to Dr. Youcef Magnouche (youcef.magnouche@huawei.com) and Dr. Pierre Bauguion  (pierre.bauguion@huawei.com). Successful applicants will be contacted within one month.
