About the role

Role focused on applying advanced mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and optimization algorithms to solve complex manufacturing challenges. Directly impacts factory throughput, supply chain strategies, and cost-reduction initiatives by transforming raw operational data into actionable, data-driven decisions.

Responsibilities

  • Production Optimization: Develop and implement mathematical models for optimization of capacity, yield, cycle times, costs, throughput, shop-floor layout usage, dynamic scheduling, and other factory and supply chain metrics.
  • Simulation Modeling: Build and maintain mathematical models for simulation to act as a "digital twin" of our assembly lines, identifying bottlenecks and testing "what-if" capacity scenarios.
  • Data fusion and analytics: Develop and implement data fusion techniques to integrate different operational data sources and generate actionable insights for manufacturing intelligence.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Operations Research, Industrial Engineering, Management Science, Applied Mathematics, or related field.
  • Proficiency with solvers and modeling languages such as Gurobi, CPLEX, CP-SAT, Pyomo, and GAMS.
  • Hands-on experience with simulation platforms like Arena, FlexSim, SimPy, and AnyLogic.
  • Experience with machine learning platforms such as PyTorch and Scikit-learn.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills; ability to explain complex statistical and mathematical theories to non-technical stakeholders in simple, universal language.
