Role overview

The Applied Scientist Intern in the MAPS POIs team contributes to the research, experimentation, and development of data-driven and machine-learning solutions that enhance the accuracy, coverage, and usability of TomTom's maps and Points of Interest products. This internship gives you hands-on experience applying scientific and analytical methods to real-world problems at scale, working alongside Applied Scientists and Engineers on challenges that directly impact TomTom's products.

Responsibilities

  • Explore and experiment with ML/AI approaches to solve POI-domain problems such as entity matching, address parsing, data quality assessment, or coverage analysis
  • Implement and evaluate models and algorithmic solutions on real-world, large-scale geospatial datasets
  • Design and run experiments, analyze results, and translate findings into clear insights, recommendations and implementation
  • Be part of the development of data pipelines and tooling that support model training, evaluation, and analysis
  • Collaborate with Applied Scientists, Engineers, and Product stakeholders to understand requirements and integrate your work into the broader team workflow
  • Document experiments, methodologies, and results clearly to support knowledge sharing within the team

Basic qualifications
