Senior AMR Fleet Optimization & Routing Engineer

Velenosi&Meredith; Porto; Hybrid; EUR 60,000 - 80,000; Full time

Job summary

Velenosi&Meredith is seeking a Senior Algorithm / Optimization Engineer in Porto to design and implement advanced optimization algorithms for Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) fleet scheduling, routing, and traffic management. The role blends mathematical optimization with production-grade software development.

You will model orders, priorities, routes, and robot capabilities, and develop fast planning solutions that balance optimality with real-time performance, integrating with production backend

Qualifications

• Strong background in mathematical optimization, algorithms, Operations Research, or applied mathematics.
• Experience with combinatorial optimization, scheduling, routing, assignment, or resource allocation.
• Strong programming skills in Rust and/or Python.
• Production software engineering experience—not only research or prototypes.
• Understanding of algorithms, constraints, objective functions, heuristics, and runtime complexity.
• Experience with APIs, backend services, testing, Git, CI/CD, and performance optimization.
• Ability to evaluate algorithms using simulation, benchmarks, data, and operational KPIs.
• Understanding of logistics, fleet planning, or complex scheduling problems.

Responsibilities

• Design algorithms for AMR assignment, scheduling, routing, and fleet optimization.
• Model orders, priorities, deadlines, routes, robot capabilities, and operational constraints.
• Develop fast, executable planning solutions balancing optimality and real-time performance.
• Work with historical and live data to improve travel-time estimates and planning quality.
• Build simulation, benchmarking, and validation tools.
• Integrate algorithms into production backend and fleet-management systems.
• Collaborate with Backend, Robotics, Product, QA, Simulation, and Fleet Management teams.
