· Prepare technical reports and presentations to communicate findings and provide actionable insights to stakeholders.

Qualifications- Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities:

· Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Civil Engineering, Transportation Engineering, Traffic Engineering, Operations Research, or a related field.

· Experience: 1-2 years of experience in traffic modeling, algorithm development, or toll pricing strategies.

· Technical Skills:

· Proficiency in traffic simulation software such as VISSIM, TransModeler, Aimsun, or similar tools.

· Experience with dynamic pricing models.

· Knowledge of statistical modeling, traffic demand forecasting, and optimization techniques.

· Programming skills in Python, MATLAB, R, or SQL for data analysis and algorithm tuning are a plus.

· Soft Skills:

· Excellent written and verbal communication skills to convey technical concepts clearly.

· Ability to manage time effectively and work in a deadline-driven environment.

· Experience working with state transportation agencies, tolling authorities, or public infrastructure projects is preferred.
