  • Experience designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines, ensuring data accuracy, and integrating systems to support real-time production analytics
  • Comfort working in fast-paced environments and juggling multiple priorities

Responsibilities

  • Assess production capacities and efficiencies using design specifications and operational performance data
  • Identify and address capacity constraints, material risks, manufacturing challenges, production blockers, logistical issues, and inventory levels to meet demand
  • Design, build, and maintain data workflows for collecting, processing, and analyzing production metrics such as lead times, inventory, and bottlenecks
  • Provide high-quality decision support using discrete event simulation, linear programming, and other operations research methods
  • Generate dashboards and reports for real-time decision-making, leveraging data analytics to optimize processes and improve efficiency
  • Manage projects and lead cross-functional teams across engineering and technical disciplines
  • Management, space allocation and material flow optimization
  • Work with counterparts in the Industrial Engineering department in developing and leveraging performance and cost models for new/sustaining production lines
