Job Description:

C++ Software Engineer - VRP

Location

US-CA-Redlands

Overview

Do you know how to optimize package deliveries by distributing them among a fleet of vehicles, and ordering the deliveries to minimize operating cost? If you know the vehicle routing problem (VRP) and are eager to tackle messy real-world constraints, we've got the ideal job for you!

Join the network analyst team to build and enhance VRP algorithms used by companies all over the world to optimize their delivery fleet, schedule inspections and service calls, route school buses, and much more. Our work touches millions of users and has far-reaching impact.

You will work on a team focused on designing and implementing high-performance optimization algorithms exposed in mobile, desktop, server, and cloud-based APIs and solutions within ArcGIS. This is a challenging and gratifying opportunity to apply your coding talent and passion for excellence to craft solutions for real-world vehicle routing problems.

Responsibilities

Design and implement new capabilities in C++ for the VRP solver
• Perform computational experiments and use results to guide tuning of algorithm parameters


• Optimize existing and new C++ code to reduce memory consumption and increase performance and scalability


• Analyze computational complexity of algorithms


• Work with product engineers to diagnose root causes for incorrect software behavior and failures


• Fix bugs in the existing C++ codebase


• Write comprehensive technical specifications and design documents


• Participate throughout the software development life cycle
