Modeling and Simulation Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Fully automate large parts of the industrial engineering role.
• Design, build, and maintain business process automation for full schedule management across platforms.
• Implement and maintain one integrated master schedule for the Protofactory.
• Build automated workflows connecting: tickets, M&E deliveries, production start events, bar charts, and reporting.
• Develop advanced simulation models to test schedule scenarios, identify bottlenecks, and optimize flow.
• Create data pipelines and dashboards that give real-time schedule visibility.
• Work alongside the Protofactory Master Scheduler to translate scheduling logic into automated systems.
• Apply operations research methods (optimization, queuing theory, discrete event simulation) to production planning problems.

Job requirements

• Operations research background, degree, or demonstrated expertise in OR, applied math, or industrial engineering with quantitative focus.
• Software engineering proficiency; can write production-quality code (Python, SQL, or similar).
• Digital native: comfortable building tools, writing scripts, using APIs, and working in code-first environments.
• Experience with simulation (discrete event simulation, Monte Carlo, agent-based modeling).
• Ability to translate complex scheduling logic into automated, maintainable systems.
• Self-directed with strong problem-solving instincts.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
• Must be a U.S. Person due to required access to U.S. export controlled information or facilities.
