  • Data Science & Analytics :

  • Work with large, complex datasets to derive actionable insights using advanced statistical and analytical techniques.
  • Integrate OR techniques (linear / non-linear optimization, mixed-integer programming, queuing models, stochastic modeling) with ML-based forecasting.
  • Implementation & Collaboration :

  • Partner with engineering and product teams to operationalize models and embed them into decision-support systems.
  • Collaborate with business stakeholders to ensure models and recommendations are interpretable, practical, and aligned with operational goals.
  • Continuous Research & Innovation :

  • Stay current with academic and industry trends in operations research, AI in aviation, and supply chain optimization.

  • Strong command over optimization tools and solvers.
  • Hands-on experience with Python, SQL, and data analysis libraries (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn).
  • Knowledge of forecasting, simulation, and statistical modeling.
  • Experience working with large-scale data systems.
  • Strong analytical thinking, problem structuring, and business acumen.
