Responsibilities

Design, prototype, and implement applied AI/ML models

for mobility, activity, and behavioral modeling at scale.

Drive improvements to core models for routing, mode choice, demand estimation, and geospatial forecasting — balancing research innovation with production readiness.

Partner closely with Product and Data Science leadership to

set technical direction

for modeling initiatives, ensuring they align with customer and business needs.

Evaluate new data sources

(e.g., vendor-provided mobility data, traffic sensors, geospatial layers) for quality, coverage, and fitness-for-use in Replica’s models.

Develop new algorithms to fuse Replica’s proprietary data with external sources (e.g., traffic sensors, land use, census, streaming data).

Evaluate model performance, define success metrics , and iterate quickly to improve accuracy, robustness, and fairness.

Collaborate with data production engineers to

transition prototypes into robust, production-quality systems

used nationwide.

Contribute to modeling frameworks and shared libraries, mentoring peers and

raising the technical bar across the team .

Stay current with advances in machine learning, optimization, and geospatial modeling, applying them pragmatically to Replica’s challenges.
