Discover an internship at the heart of quantitative analysis and modelling

Would you like to apply your skills in mathematical modeling, quantitative analysis, and tool development to a high-impact project?

Join our Operations Direction, based in La Défense (Paris area, France).

Within a team of engineers responsible for the development and modernization of technical and financial tools, you will contribute to the evolution of a strategic forecasting model used to estimate revenue related to Equipment & Materials certification in shipbuilding projects.

Your main responsibilities

Under the supervision of experienced engineers, you will contribute to all stages of the model analysis and improvement cycle:

1.Analyze the existing forecasting tool:

• Understand the current mathematical model and its computational logic
• Review assumptions, parameters, and model structure
• Map data flows and identify key dependencies

2. Investigate model deviations

• Perform backtesting and gap analysis between forecasts and actual data
• Identify sources of discrepancies and model limitations
• Analyze external factors impacting results (market conditions, regulatory changes, technical trends)

3. Improve and redevelop the model

• Propose enhancements to the forecasting methodology
• Develop improved components using quantitative techniques
• Implement robust, modular, and scalable solutions

4. Document and structure the solution

• Produce clear technical documentation for long-term maintenance
• Define assumptions, parameterization rules, and validation processes
• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders

Your strengths to succeed

You are currently pursuing a Master’s degree (Engineering School or University) with a specialization in:
