• Participate in team education, knowledge sharing, and process improvement.
• Champion the vision for crafting synthetic populations that illuminate current obstacles and uncover opportunities for fostering inclusive growth.
• Connect with clients to understand their gaps and translate them into a complete, robust and thoughtful synthetic population solution.
• Lead the creation and enrichment of synthetic populations, ensuring accuracy and thoughtfulness of demographic, geographic, and economic diversity.
• Integrate static datasets (eg., census data, infrastructure grids, demographic attributes) into population models and enhance their value for downstream applications.
• Build non-generative models to supplement and enrich synthetic populations during key phases of the modeling process.
• Synthesize and integrate infrastructure data, such as grids, transportation networks, or utilities, into population datasets to ensure realistic, actionable outputs.
• Ensure differentiation and accuracy in synthetic populations by applying advanced enrichment methods and validating results.
• Work with external data sources to integrate new static attributes and ensure datasets align with organizational goals and applications.
• Collaborate with technical modelers and simulation experts to ensure synthetic populations meet the specific needs of dynamic simulations and advanced modeling.
• Design workflows that allow synthesized data to serve as the foundation for diverse business and simulation use cases.

• Contribute to public awareness through company media, LinkedIn posts, and use cases highlighting the value of synthetic population modeling.

What You’ll Bring

• Completed education in a quantitative field such as computer science, data science, engineering, mathematics, or a related discipline. Advanced education or a focus on population modeling, GIS, or data synthesis is an asset.
• Experience leading projects in data modeling, data integration, or synthetic population creation, especially with teams from diverse professional backgrounds.
• Ability to provide thoughtful and clear feedback to project members and remain curious and humble while brainstorming new ideas.
• Ability to manage difficult conversations to address delivery disruptions and scope creep.
• Ability to synthesize complex datasets into clear, actionable outputs and enrich them with static attributes.
