About the role

Machine learning/operations research engineer role focusing on applying mathematical modeling, statistics, and optimization to manufacturing challenges. Responsibilities include production optimization, simulation modeling (digital twin of assembly lines), and data fusion for manufacturing intelligence to improve factory throughput, supply chain strategies, and cost reduction.

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.
