The Institute of High Performance Computing (IHPC) was established in April 1998 to provide leadership in high performance computing as a strategic resource for scientific inquiry and industry development. Our mission is to advance science and technology, and develop leading-edge applications through high performance computing and computational science. We have long-term ties with industry partners, including multinational companies and local SMEs, which ensures that our R&D activities stay focused and relevant to real-world needs. We also have active cooperation with the world's top academics and academic institutions.
Simulation Scientist
We are looking for a simulation expert who will be part of the team developing a next-generation mobility simulation platform using an agent-based modelling approach. The platform is envisioned to be integrated with other modelling & simulation systems under a digital twin strategy. The responsibilities may include
any of the following:
- Develop simulation modules for the agent-based simulator.
- Design and implement simulation scenarios.
- Develop behavioural rules for the simulation agents.
- Implement real-world dynamics including physical motion laws, power-flow, scheduling, and operational constraints as needed.
- Design, calibrate and validate simulation models.
- Optimise the performance of the simulation.
- Write research papers and present at conferences and communicate to project collaborators
Education And Experience Requirements
- Ph.D. degree in a related discipline (transportation engineering, operations research, computer engineering/science, or related disciplines)
- At least 2 years of experience
- Strong interests and expertise in traffic simulation, statistical modeling, mathematical programming, reinforcement learning, and optimization
- Minimum of two years of experience in simulation development.
Technical Skills
- Strong proficiency in Java and Python programming languages.
- Familiarity with electrified mobility technologies, electric vehicles, and charging infrastructure.
- Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
Experience/familiarity With Any Of The Following Is a Plus
- Familiarity with simulation software and tools (e.g., SimPy, MASON, Repast, Simulink, AnyLogic, SUMO).
- Simulation integration standards and frameworks (e.g., HELICS, HLA, DIS).
- High-performance communication technology (e.g., gRPC, MPI, ZeroMQ).
The above eligibility criteria are not exhaustive. A*STAR may include additional selection criteria based on its prevailing recruitment policies. These policies may be amended from time to time without notice. We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
