WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

We’re looking for an engineer who is passionate about writing software that would enable a novel digital twin platform. It is one of the key catalysts of innovations in Woven City. Though Woven City is a ‘living laboratory’, it would be better that inventors’ ideas can be tested in a virtual environment before trying in the real city. The platform will accelerate their innovations by providing a city-scale simulation and testing environment for their ideas, services and products. The simulator has to reproduce various city activities such as residents daily life, traffic dynamics, energy consumption to name a few, which requires computation of complex interactions among agents and environment. We are looking for someone who loves the vision of the digital twin platform and can contribute to the development of the software to scale and support the platform.
